Black-tailed Godwit, tame, hungry or just friendly

Occasionally I come across a bird which isn't concerned with humans approaching and on Monday a Black-tailed Godwit at the Old Harbour, Montrose Basin was one of these. Myself and two others stood only 10 metres from the bird as it fed on the mud near the harbour, I'm guessing it was hungry after its migration flight south. Further up the path while stalking the ever distant Little Egret every bird took to flight at the approach of a juvenile Peregrine which kinda ended photography for a while.
Nearby three Kingfishers flew past and a Water Rail could be seen occasionally in the reeds, later an Osprey spooked the waders again.

I'm posting six of the Black-tailed Godwit as I don't expect to get many better photos while the birds are still in breeding plumage

The Little Egret and all of the gulls and waders took to flight when the Peregrine flew in

Before the panic the Egret had caught a small flounder in its favourite channel
