Thanks. Yours is a Black-tailed Godwit.

Yip, Black Tailed Godwit and the Egret looks like a Little Egret (all black bill and legs with yellow feet).
Lovely images :)

Last one for the day. Can't categorize it as a BIF, but the first time the feet were off the ground for a young White stork - Ciconia ciconia. The adult was very displeased with some behaviour going on in the nest, and grabbed it over the head and lifted it up and relocated it. It's the first time I've watched anything similar going on in a nest. Not just a lucky shot of a brief happening, she/he had it dangling for up to a minute.

IslanderMV, it usually does and for sure in this case. I tried myself and haven't had much luck with this guy.

In fact I'm determined to persist with this lady if I can ever get some sunshine because ISO 12800 just doesn't cut it. She's just landing so Alan not really a bird in fright. ;)
