Hey everyone, I know that from these images it might be an impossible task, but these are rare visitors during migration here and I want to try keep eBird checklists as accurate as possible. Reading through the Collins I decided these are Dunlins ( Calidris alpina ). Thank you for your help!

They do look like similarly 'bad' photos I have of definite Dunlin. Although I can't be certain, if they were taken here by me, I'd be thinking Dunlin as being most likely. Not sure what other possibilities would need ruling out in Bulgaria though.

Yes, Dunlin. One even shows a bit of a black belly.
Two do for me...
