Wader ID (with very poor photos) - Switzerland (1 Viewer)

Hello. Could someone help me ID these birds?

I saw them yesterday in a nature reserve in the canton of Zurich. It might be impossible to ID with these photos, but as I hardly have any experience with waders, any comment would help my future birding. I'm thinking that they might be Ruffs (I got to see thier orange legs) and Greenshanks (grey-and-white body and slightly upturned bill).

Thank you!
