Peaceful Solitude

The orange sun silently decended through a cloudless sky this afternoon.  There was just a light vesper to ruffle the otherwise calm surface of the water where a small flock of waders were contentedly foraging at the leading edge of the incoming tide at Pettycur Bay.

My 'extra' was taken a few minutes later just as the sun went to bed and zooms in on the waders feeding in the foreground.  At first, I thought they were redshanks, but amongst them were 4 or 5 blackheaded gulls, suggesting that the waders were larger, so perhaps they are godwits?
Bar-tailed godwits feed on the sandier shores nearer to Kirkcaldy.  Black-tailed godwits feed on the muddier silts near the bridges, so, at this intermediate site, they could be either.  OR, they could be something else entirely:  I am not an expert on waders.
