Ruff with red legs? Portugal Lisboa (1 Viewer)

Any thoughts?

Hello,
I agree with you, the white bellied bird is a male Ruff.
Apart from this, I see Lapwings and other Ruffs.
There are tow difficult waders sitting in the right gravel-line. At first I thought the left might be a Common Snipe, but this species has a shorter, more plump rear end. So I think another Ruff might be a better answer.
Same with the right bird. At first I thought it might be a Calidris, but as I struggle to find a very good match, my guess its another Ruff in an ID-unfriendly position.

Adult ruff tend to have orangey red legs

Thank you

I was a little stranded in the sense that I’m birdbook less for this trip but the legs stood out (pardon the pun) and I couldn’t find reference to this colour of leg!

Everything else screamed ruff

Ruffs' legs are all sorts of colours.

Thanks - as with most things couldn't see it being anything else but the obvious...
