Shorebird ID Assist

Post by birderfromthenorth »

I went to Miranda with my family the other day and had a great day birding. I've attached two pictures of two separate birds. I have some guesses, but they started getting a bit wild and I'm not confident. Any help appreciated thanks, even if that is that they aren't ID-able!
Happy Birding,
Noah (Tauranga)

I've looked at these again and think they are just red knots. I'd appreciate if anyone could confirm.
Happy Birding,

Yes, agree with red knot.
