It is a marbled godwit (Limosa fedoa), great low angle, were you chewing sand?

Hi Dave,
I agree with Craig , looks like the pale strain of a Marbled Godwit to me.
Nice shot.

Definately marbled G. Lovely low shooting point and good light.

Nice low shooting angle, like the little wave coming in too.

Nice work

Nice angle, light and subject but a little too central for my taste. I feel cropping some of the bottom away below the breaking wave would improve the impact.
