I think it could be Redshank n Turnstone (can't see any beaks but I think Ruff are a fair bit bigger)

Hi,

There's also dunlin, and the sixth bird from the right of the big pic (with it's head under it's wing) looks like it might be a purple sandpiper, another to it's left too?

You're a braver man than me as I thought that bird to be a Purple Sandpiper too, but didn't want to risk it! I'm assuming the Dunlin is the bird directly to the left of the Purple Sandpiper?

Yes. There's also one on the other pic too, far right, partly obscured by bh gull's head.

I hadn't zoomed in on the original photo but agree about the Purple Sandpiper now I've done that! A nice mixed assemblage of waders.
