Little Curlew Still Present in the Rain (with video)
The Little Curlew found yesterday was walking actively around a wet grassland again today, rain and all.
A Little Whimbrel soaked by rain and turned completely black. Black enough to be mistaken for a dark morph… ^^;
The Pacific Golden Plovers in the same pasture showed almost no colour change even when wet, but why does the Little Whimbrel turn this colour? Less preen oil in the feathers, perhaps?
