Short Description:

The Black-tailed Godwit (Limosa limosa) is a migratory bird species found in Pakistan during its wintering season. These elegant waders are characterized by long legs, a slender bill, and distinctive black and white markings on their wings.

During winter, Black-tailed Godwits can be spotted in various wetland habitats across Pakistan, including coastal areas, marshes, lakes, and estuaries. They often frequent places such as the Indus River Delta, the coastline along the Arabian Sea, and wetlands like Haleji Lake and Keenjhar Lake.

Black-tailed Godwits are known for their migratory behavior, undertaking long journeys between their breeding grounds in northern Europe and their wintering grounds in South Asia, including Pakistan. They feed primarily on invertebrates like insects, worms, and crustaceans, which they forage for in shallow water or mudflats using their long bills.
