Hello everyone.

I need information about the bill length of shorebirds.

Specifically, I want to know the bill length of the following species:
Terek Sandpipe(Xenus cinereus), Common Redshank (Tringa tetanus), Great Knot(Calidris tenuirostris), Bar-tailed Godwit(Limosa lapponica), Grey-tailed Tattler(Heteroscelus brevipes).

And what are the guidelines for accurately measuring shorebird bill length?
Beak length, Head-Bill?, Bill-Nose?, Feather-Bill....

Do you have any information?
Thank you for your interest.
