    There's really no rock there, it's a dry mud bank (surely man made) and irregular in shape, of unknown width; the bird is sitting in a depression on the top of the bank, with the lateral part of the chest being hidden by the bank (a dry muddy crest, which I believe is also hiding part of the bill).

    My first impression on the 2nd bird was also Marsh Sand; I can't easily reconcile the (visible) plumage with WS; looking carefully, the tip of the bill seems to be hidden behind the bank.
