Black-tailed Godwit
Svarthalespove
Limosa limosa

In Norway Black-tailed Godwits are found breeding at Jæren in the southwest, and in Lofoten, northern Norway. The latter population is the islandica subspecies, while limosa breeds in the south. This adult limosa was photographed at Orre in Rogaland county (western Norway) 9 May 2004.

Have a look at a juvenile islandica from September here.
