Hello.

Dunlins ? But they looked so bright, compared to other Dunlins around.
Or, Little Stint ?

Thanks.

Hello Surfan,

all waders in your pictures are Dunlins (apart from the Common Ringed Plover in your second picture).

Bill is much too long for a Little Stint and a Little Stint would lack any pattern (streaks, spots ...) on the lower breast and belly like your birds have.
