Another Wader Query

One of these days I'll master the art of identifying waders from a distance.  Until then ...

Currently on holiday on the Beara Peninsula, in SW Ireland.  I came across these 2 waders yesterday.  I THINK I'm looking at Godwits - if I'm right, thoughts on Bar- or Black- tailed welcome.  If I'm wrong, I have even more still to learn than I had supposed. 

BTW - a couple of pics taken, but not good quality owing to distance.

I'm sure an expert will come in with the correct id Phil but they look like Greenshank to me.

Many thanks Alf.  I must say that, since I posted this, I had started to wonder if I might be in "Greenshank territory" rather than "Godwit territory".
