Dotterel and maybe sharp tailed sandpiper?

Post by chrisandhannah1502 »

Hello everyone,

Just wondering if those two on the left are New Zealand dotterel, and the one on the right, is this the sharp tailed sandpiper?
I tried to identify the birds myself but I need some advice!

Thanks,

Christian
