Two Marbled Godwits and a Whimbrel
          Limosa fedoa         Numenius phaeopus

The Marbled Godwit is very common in the estuary, seen singly, in small groups, and in large flocks. Whimbrels are seen much less frequently and, in many instances, as in this photo, a single bird in the company of different species.
