Waders in flight - South France (1 Viewer)

Gduff

Well-known member
Is it possible to safely ID this flock of waders, seen yesterday on Camargue coast ?
I artificially enlighted some of the photos.
I don't see any white on wings nor on the back.
Shape seem delicate... Perhaps Wood Sandpiper ?
I don't know if they fly in such groups ?

Thank you

Hello Gduff,

yes most of them look good for Wood Sandpiper for me too.
But some of them arent IDable with confidence for me

Yes, its a hidden object picture (thanks Tom, this comes into my mind every time I think of this phrase), so its well worth a closer look
 
Thanks for correction Butty!
I thought, the white wedge on the upper rump and the back would be visible in many of the birds here.
But after reading your comment, I think you are right.
