South West Spain - last ones please :)

Last few we were struggling with - any help greatly appreciated.

Stunning array of new birds for us to spot down here. We did fine with easy ones like White Storks, Hoopoe, Cattle Egret etc - but really appreciate help with all the posts as beginers.

thank you

The first shows a Kentish Plover and what appear to be Dunlin (maybe not easy to be sure of all of them though). The other photos are of a Sanderling.

The Dunlin look quite different from books at times. These are in winter plumage as well.
