Bar-tailed Godwit

Wikipedia:
"The Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica) is a large wader in the family Scolopacidae, which breeds on Arctic coasts and tundra mainly in the Old World."
Here seen in Varangerfjord, Finnmark, northern Norway. The expression "Old world" is actually quite suitable here, as the oldest rock in Norway,
2900 millon years old (and one of the oldest bedrocks/mountains in the entire world), is situated not far from this spot.
Here are three females + one red male in the middle.
