The Bar-tailed godwit is a migratory bird that can sometimes be found here in Austria during bird migration. I managed to get some pictures of the bird when it was resting at lake Neusiedler. These birds like shallow water and good conditions for wading in the mud where it tries to find some insects for food. When it is looking for food and distracted than you can gen pretty close to the bird but when it is just resting and standing there it gets alarmed if you get to close to it and then often flees.
