Saw a group of these birds on the South East Coast, we thought maybe Dunlin but these guys have orange legs, maybe Redshank? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks a lot in advance

They are Turnstones - named so as they use their chisel like beaks to turn stones for food.

You can just make out their bibs on your photograph.

Thank you so much! Was lucky enough to see a Oystercatcher the same day.
Thanks again :)
