Birdspotter Wanted

[nivrip]

Took some pics whilst walking along the beach at the weekend and saw these birds

.

All but one of these are (I think) Sanderlings, changing from their whitish winter plumage to the sandy summer colour. However, what's the little fella second from the right?

I thought some type of plover but he has red legs and plovers usually have yellow legs.

Any ideas?

These are Oystercatchers below.

Looks like a Ringed Plover not unusual for similar birds to flock together ... yep other are Sanderling
