I've given up trying to identify most shorebirds as I get it wrong more often than not, maybe a Godwit of some kind?

Anyway, first two are good but the first in particular would've been much stronger with a slight head turn towards the camera to catch the light. Bird images generally are stronger if the bird is not looking away from the camera.

#3 looks like a Red-capped Plover but don't quote me on that, I'm rusty at this and don't have my bird books handy.

Looks over sharpened to my eye but nice detail captured.

I think they are Bar Tailed Godwits, and yep a Red Capped Plover is the last. And yes you are right it does look over zealously sharpened. I should take to wearing my reading glasses when I play around with PP and I one day i might get it right if I can see whats going on

I hear you about the reading glasses!

The plover is very cute. I like the sandy surrounds in that image too.
Some unusual birds to me, nice to see them.
if you are using PP maybe a little cleanup on the forground for the godwits would be nice.
