Hello Brian,
Your two birds are Common Greenshank. Marsh Sand is a much smaller and dainty bird, along the lines of miniature Stilt.
Hope this helps,
D.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Help required with wader ID
Last year I visited the Western Treatment Plant in
Victoria and now have some wader photos that I need some assistance with.
This photo isn't the best but I am hoping it is good enough to make an ID.
My initial thoughts were of a Marsh Sandpiper but I am not at all
confident.
Thanking anyone who can assist.
Brian
