Sandpiper ID
Could anyone confirm if picture 1 is a green sandpiper and picture 2 a wood sandpiper please?
Also, are the birds in picture 3 little stints? Your help would be appreciated.

Wow! What super Waders you have photographed, Ian! Well done with the pics!
I would agree with Green and Wood Sandpipers and hesitantly agree with Little Stints  In my Field Guide it does say that the 'adult male commonly become more rufous than the female', which to me is what your photo is showing with the bird on the left of the pic.

Yes I think your right with those, bars on the tail of the Green Sandpiper, flecking down the flanks of the Wood Sandpiper and the scaling on the back of the Little Stint would suggest so.
