Mud-wrestling godwits
24 Feb 2012
More than 9,000 images have now been added to the BirdTrack flickr pool, and we are regularly amazed by the incredibly high quality of so many of them. Margaret Holland's fantastic image of mud-wrestling godwits, for example, not only conveys the movement of the tussle by capturing droplets of mud in mid air but also records a very interesting piece of behaviour: interspecific competition between a Black-tailed Godwit (right) and its slightly smaller relative, a Bar-tailed Godwit.
