Eyebrook Reservoir - 22/4/25 - Common sandpiper?? and a couple of others (3 Viewers)

[Derbyfella]

Taken today - looking mostly at a bright shoreline - so quite difficult to make out colours, seemed to be quite grey and was difficult to make out - i had seen the ringed plover first (last photo).





Lastly is this grainy effect due to being at maximum zoom (Lumix fz-82 bridging camera)? for comparison with same camera here is a Whitethroat, significantly closer taken around the same time.

Yes, it's a common sandpiper.
The upkick in the white underside in front of the wing is characteristic
