Terrick Sandpiper australia (1 Viewer)

[Greg McKay]

These birds were photographed at the Western Treatmant Plant Victoria
The first bird I think might be a Terrick Sandpiper but the Bill color I'm not sure on.

Photographed in a different pond a few Kilometres away are were the other 2birds. I'm not sure if they are the same or not.

I'm not good with shore birds so help needed and appreciated

All are Greenshanks. Terek e.g. has much shorter legs

Common Greenshank in both photos. Terek is much shorter legged, the bill is even more upcurved and they are a bit smaller than a Tattler. They have a very distinctive way of moving as well. The legs seem too far back so the birds seems on the edge of toppling over forwards.
