It is an area in Romania, an area of community interest where there were more birds but I managed to capture only a part of them.

Poor Judge of Pasta.
I think the Tringa looking things are recently fledged Stilts, and there seems to be a Yellow Wagtail mobbing the Lapwing in pic 3.

I thought so too - but with a barred tail? :eek!: I think Lou is right.
1. must be Lapwing and Stilt?

My takes:
Post 1:
1 Lapwing & Black-winged Stilt (adult)
2 Black-winged Stilt (juvenile)
3 Lapwing & Yellow Wagtail
Post 2:
1 Black-winged Stilt (juvenile)
2 Mallard (pair)
3 ? possibly another Lapwing, but pic too small to be sure (I think the apparent long bill is an artefact)
4 Lapwing
@ Simon - I don't see any barred tail on any of the stilts

Yep, wing tip, or perhaps tertial tips if the primaries are not full-grown yet.
