Waders - Japan (1 Viewer)

[misikuru]

Hello, yesterday I was in a park next to Tokyo bay and I saw some waders which I can't ID. Can you help me?

1. Eurasian whimbrel on the right? What is the bird on the left?
2, 3. Terek sandpiper or common greenshank or marsh sandpiper?
4. Common sandpiper?

Thank you!

Thank you Andrew! Just a quick search about Grey-tailed Tattlers, it says it can be observed in late July in Japan, earlier than other sandpipers and plovers. Thank you for your help

Yes, I actually saw one in Tokyo last week so they're definitely around.
