On a recent trip to Shetland I took photos of various waders on 26/08/17 which I am having difficulties identifying. They were at the Loch of Spiggie (NT3616T) in the South Mainland of Shetland. All were in a grass field which had been mown within the last 10 days and close to the Loch. The Loch itself is less than 1.5km from the seashore with both rocky, shingly and sandy beaches. The photos are by no means clear as the birds, in some cases, were a good 150m away. I think the birds concerned are Godwit, possibly Greenshank, Green Sandpiper and Curlew Sandpiper, but am by no means certain and would welcome positive ID if possible
Photo 8032 - Two birds which appear to be different.
Photo 8042 - This bird appears to have a downward curved bird. Could it be a
Curlew Sandpiper
Photo 8046 - Could the nearest bird also be a Curlew Sandpiper.
Photo 8047 - Those in the background I take to be Black-tailed Godwit, but am uncertain of that in the foreground.
