Aha thank you Maree  -  well of course I shall defer to Sue, but all the smaller birds look like Red-necked Stints, a species that can appear teasingly unusual, depending on the setting and what it is with.

My gestimate going on recent sitings on eBird as well as  bill length and size are:

 

Top photo

Greater sand plover

 

Middle photo

Great knot - similar size, bill length 

 

Bottom photo

 

possibly a Sanderling similar size bill shape and overall size.

 

Unfortunately I did not have a scope on hand.

 

Cheers

who would say to Maree - what do you think they are? and why? Start with size and bill length.
