After having a few problems with my old camera and software, father christmas treat me to a new camera and the wonders of the new camera software has finally sorted out some photo's I shot whilst down the west coast of Cornwall earlier this year. I managed to get some nice shots, I think I've managed to identify them but would like confirmation.
If anyone happens to live in or goes to Cornwall then I would recommend a trip to the RSPB site at Hayle Estuary, this most south westerly estuary in the UK never freezes. Ideal to visit late autumn or winter. Thousands and thousands of waders, gulls and terns also a lot of migrant waders, Osprey passing through the list is endless.

Thanks in advance Buzzard

Thank you Buzzard for the answers
I seem to have got two species the wrong way around mainly Dave said that waders are not the easiest and I know through time I will gain more experince of ID-ing Waders with more certainy of the species. 4 out of 7 is better than nothing.
Thank you for the chance to test ones abilities here,
Any other poictures like the ones you had I would be happy to try to ID once again
Well done S for the correct answers {smile}
