The bar-tailed godwit (Limosa lapponica) is a large wader in the family Scolopacidae. The genus name Limosa is from Latin and means “muddy”, from limus, “mud”. The specific lapponica refers to Lapland. The English term “godwit” was first recorded in about 1416–7 and is believed to imitate the bird’s call.
