A view of the Miranda Shore, with White-faced Herons in the foreground and the main flock of Bar-tailed Godwits and Lesser Knots behind them. At back are Black-backed Gulls. Other birds also likely visible.
there are either wrybills or banded dotterels just to the left of the right-hand herons, and what is probably a banded dotterel above the far left-hand heron

I'm 95% sure I identified a wrybill on one of the photos, it was the right shape and colour, but I can't find it now (there are a number of photos). I wasn't confident with the ID of most other birds though. Do you mean the dotteral is the small dot (say 10 pixels total) above the heron in the foreground just left of centre? Or are you talking about a different heron? Or a different left?
there are four herons in the photo, two on the far right and two further left (centre-ish). There's a small object above the heron furthest back (the left-most of the four herons), just below the godwits, which I thought was probably a dotterel but it might be a rock
I'm pretty sure there's at least one wrybill just left of the two right-hand herons but I can't be sure its not some other species. (But it looks most like a wrybill).
