Thank you, Joern!

It makes sense no 1 is also a whimbrel. There were indeed a lot of them. I just found no 1's bill longer than the rest.

In the Numenius species adult birds have longer bills than juveniles /first year, and females have longer bills than male as far as I know.
So there is quite some variation
