Temminck's Stint? Wedel west of Hamburg northern Germany 30.04.2022 (1 Viewer)

Yesterday at the NABU Station Wedeler Marsch, west of HH (Hansastadt Hamburg).
I think they are Temminck's Stint, because yellowish -greenish legs, long tail longer than wing tips, size compared to the Common Sandpiper (4508), back pattern (no white lines) and location. This will be a lifer for me.

Please confirm/refute ID

Many thanks

Certainly are TS, and in nice plumage too.

Thanks very much for the confirm. Also present about 10,000 Barnacle Geese, grouping and feeding before the trip north, numbers already dropping and the ubiquitous White-taile Eagle. When it arrived the barnacles all took off, pure magic!
