Montrose Basin at Tayock, Burn and Hide

I managed to confirm my earlier sighting of Bar-tailed Godwit and got some decent pictures of an Oystercatcher, juvenile Shelduck and a Curlew. The first picture below was the result of a Kestrel kill. I've experimented more with the ISO settings on the camera and made a point of going where the sun would light the subjects. I just need the birds to learn what I need.

Kestrel Kill!

I'd disturbed a Kestrel near the path and when I investigated I found the remains of this poor mouse, it's skull and face. I'm sure I heard that Sparrowhawks like to eat the brain of a bird first, perhaps Kestrels are the same with mice?

Bar-tailed Godwit at Tayock and possibly Black-tailed as well

Bar-tailed Godwit, confirming the previous days post where the photo was poor.

Feeding in the Tayock Burn, slightly turned up beak.

Shorter legs than the Black-tailed Godwit which also has a straighter beak.

I can't see a barred tail and the beak seems straight, maybe these are actually Black-tailed Godwits I have compared photos and these look longer legged, I'll go with Black-tailed for now.
