The Black-tailed Godwit (Limosa limosa), a migratory bird in Sri Lanka, visits coastal wetlands and lagoons during its winter sojourn. Recognizable by its long bill and distinctive black-tipped tail, it forages for invertebrates in mudflats. Often observed in flocks, their striking calls resonate across these wetland habitats. Conservation efforts emphasize safeguarding these critical areas, ensuring the continued presence of these elegant and migratory waders in Sri Lanka’s diverse and vital ecosystems.
