Lovely waders.
Black-tailed Godwits are large wading birds. In summer, they have bright orangey-brown chests and bellies, but in winter they’re more greyish-brown. Their most distinctive features are their long beaks and legs, and the black and white stripes on their wings. Female black-tailed godwits are bigger and heavier than the males, with a noticeably longer beak (which helps the sexes to avoid competing for food with each other). They’re very similar to bar-tailed godwits, which breed in the Arctic. Black-taileds have longer legs, and bar-taileds don’t have striped wings. As the names suggest, the tail patterns are different, too. (RSPB)

ReplyDeletetêm a capacidade de reconstruir para recomeçar.
Isso é sinal de garra e de luta, é saber viver, é tirar o
melhor de todos os passageiros.

e por mais que nossos assentos não estejam lado a lado, com certeza,
o vagão é o mesmo.
Agradeço a você por sua amizade tão especial,
