Hi Mike,
I think the two birds with long bill are long-billed Dowitcher.

HI Thomas
I think these are Bar-tailed Godwit. The bill is a little to slim and is slightly upturned for a dowitcher.
Cheers

Hi Mike,
Thanks for all of you reply!
Is it a Long-Billed Dowitcher in below photo?

Hi Thomas,
If I saw that bird, I would still ID that as a Bar-tailed Godwit. Just the overall impression of the slight upward curve in the bill.
Cheers,
Ken

All these photos show bar-tailed godwit. As others have mentioned, the upturned bill is a good guide. Note also the pink base to the bill and pale brown, patterned upperparts.
Long-billed Dowitcher is a smaller, dumpier bird (structurally more like a snipe) which appears plainer and greyer and has a straight, black bill.
