The bird on the right is a turnstone I'm sure. What do you make of the others please?

Another shot of them

From right to left; Greenshank, Turnstone, and possibly 2x Marsh Sandpipers, which i've never seen before.

Thanks Mike for the ID's. I saw turnstones again today and also the sandpipers. I now think that they are common sandpipers - more pics attached. I've also included another shot of the greenshank.

Glad you like the pics Ruth and Little Sparrow.

Great shots Mike, especially the Greenshank.
I think you are right with Common Sandpiper - the grey legs and the line through the eye seem to confirm it.

These are common sandpipers, are they the same birds in 1st photo?
