Black-tailed Godwit - a photo on Flickriver

            Fly past of a Godwit, a pretty common bird in the Netherlands although their numbers are declining due to the lack of good pastures to find food and breed.
Too much of the Netherlands is cultivated, either grass for cows or land for crops.
Wild pastures with lots of different kinds of grasses,  incests and other food sources are hard to find.
