Not sure about this little chap . He just wanted to keep his beak berried.
He may be a Green Shank or could be a Godwit. Or it could be a young gull but his legs don't look like gull's legs

The second photo may be a Redshank but I'm not sure he looks a little tatty windswept. There were so many birds there
