Long-billed Dowitcher - Christmas Eve

It's likely that I won't get a decent photo of the Dowitcher in the near future if it continues its pattern of behaviour, the tide level it prefers will be in darkness. The photos below was taken near 1500 hrs, and the video in similar conditions two days earlier. Viewing through mature trees means, often it walks behind the many branches, the dark marks!
