Hi
Spotted these in Tamilnadu, South India last week. Would really appreciate any help in iding these birds. Sorry about the poor quality of some of the pics.Some of these birds were really afar.
1) Is the one on the left a broad-billed sandpiper. As the bill looks too long for a little stint.
2) Are the birds in the front curlew sandpipers?
3), and the one in the middle in 4) - Immature brown-headed gulls?
5) Is the redshank a spotted redshank? Asking as I have not spotted this prominent an eye-stripe in the common redshanks I've seen.
Thanks very much
Ajay
