The images in the first are so tiny I really can't work out much other than there's some dabbling duck- one looks grey so maybe a drake Gadwall, but from what I can see just an educated guess. Maybe if someone can enlarge the image they may see more.

Second shows Greenshank (far) + Green Sandpiper (near).

That second shot is a good comparison of two birds that look very similar to me in bird books.

The first has all sorts of interesting birds. I think one is definitely one of the ringed plovers. But I can't do waders.

Thanks for that.Green Sandpiper is good, i thought Ringed Plover, with maybe the brown bird in the middle a Ruff, perhaps thats just wishfull thinking. thats the other picture

Hi 1st pic very hard to pick out but ducks I too think one could well be drake gadwall though plus you have three ring plovers the two waders in centre one to left looks to have long bill with downward curve and may be curlew sandpiper and one to right may also be but I may well be way off as I got pic as large as I could but was getting very grainy. other pic greenshank and green sandpiper
