I can see Shelduck, Black headed Gull, a bird which is either a large Charadrius plover or a 1st W Little Gull (I'll say the latter). Which makes the Calidrid the vagrant.....
but thats looks so Dunlin like I can't get past it... maybe the foreground Gull is a Boneys but that seems unlikely.
Dunlin, BHG, Shelduck... and I'll have to think about the other bird!

Looks like a Little Gull to me.
The wader is hard, although I see what Jane's onto with Dunlin. I found myself wondering if it's a Snipe with most of its bill in the water.

OK - it's not a Snipe! Maybe a Curlew Sandpiper?

i'd say bill length is just a bit longer than that of common sand. structurally it is more curlew sand than dunlin but it shares a feature with dunlin, actually it is much more accentuated in this sp. 
maybe pec sand?

yepp! third pec sand record for romania it was - admittedly it doesn't look like one in the pics but, well combined, peter!
