Latin name: Limosa limosa; Gaelic name: Guilbneach earrdhubh Winter visitor from Iceland. Numbers remain high throughout the winter. Very similar in size and shape to Bar-tailed Godwit, but the slightly longer, straighter bill, neck and legs give it a more elegant appearance. Winter plumage is a similar greyish brown to Bar-tailed, but generally plainer, with less dark-centred feathers, especially on the wings. Summer plumaged or moulting birds often occur, showing varying amounts of rich orange.
