For future ref... It helps all round to break them down into posts of no more than 5-6 pics/species each.
The terns (3 pics) are presumably all least tern.
The small short/pointy-billed shorebirds are least sandpiper.
There's no western sandpiper.
The others are probably correct given that the sequence has clearly changed, as it does in long sequences of photos (the BF bug again).
 
2. Stubby and strong bill for a sandpiper. A Wilson's Plover for me.
8. Collared Plover.
9/11: juv terns, Least?.
 
Thanks for input! I will limit my photos per post to 5-6 and try to avoid repeats. I thought the guidelines said to include multiple photos, but I won't do that anymore unless someone asks for a different shot.
 
The key thing is the reordering here. Guard against that by (ideally) renaming your photos as 1,2,3 etc, and by including the photo name/number against each suggested id
 
The sequence is correct for me, 2 rows of 6 read left to right and a row of 3 below - is that because I'm viewing it on a bigger (27") monitor?
