A Few Waders - Essex UK (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
These were taken over the last few days - can I confirm the IDs please

1) & 2) - Bar Tailed Godwit. - Shortish legs, Curlew like plumage and I think I can see Bar Tail in 2nd photo. But I couldn't discern any bill curvature
3) & 4) - Wood Sandpiper - I've only ever seen one before so just want to be certain but it has the more mottled plumage and yellow legs.
5) - Are these Spotted Redshank. At first I thought they might be Knot but it is probably too early? and the Bills are too long.

Many Thanks!
