These shore birds are proving difficult for me. Especially the little plovers. Are pic 3 red-necked stints? Some of the plovers look quite a bit larger, as in the top left in the last pic, are these greater sand plovers? Thanks as always!

- Grey-tailed Tattler
- Greater Sandplover
- Red-necked Stints look good
- On the left, a Great Knot, then Kentish Plover in the middle, and I guess Grey Plover
- Last photo is showing Terek Sandpiper, Greater and Lesser Sandplovers. For example, look and the half-cut bird on front left corner: bill is tiny (Lesser) compared to birds (Greater) with thick bill near the Terek's Sandpipers.

These were at Laem Pakarang. Need to be there when the tide is down a bit.
