1: Common scoter.

2: Herring gull, Wigeon, Lesser black backed gull, Great black backed gull, Common seal/Grey seal, Lapwing, Iceland gull.
 
unless i've missed something, I don't think there is an Iceland Gull...Where do you think on is?

All the rest right

Common Scoter - no
 
The seabird is not just a little tricky, it's nearly impossible, if you hadn't told us it was a bird, I'd think it was a floater in my eye!! I'm just going to assume that it's a pom skua as it seems to be the only bird (apart from the little auks) that everyone's seeing on the sea at the moment.
 
It actually is a little Auk, lol
attached is a photo taken by a friend a day prior about 30 miles south.
I annoyingly didn't get any Pom action, but Little Auks are pretty awesome!

well it had to be one or the other! very jealous of these seabirds. Only thing that comes close here is cormorant.
 
Which one is the Lesser Black-backed?

I am going with Great Northern Diver for the bird on the water. Looks like a diver neck to me.
 
the Bird on the Water IS a Little Auk...

I think on this picture it is pretty hard to tell the LBBG, but in the midlle of the Seals, below them, there is a gull sitting down, i think that thats it. I know there is one in there!
