Kinda puzzled by the legs but I'm wondering if they're not really as dark as they look in the picture so...
...Long-billed Dowitcher?

That's for number one. Number two ??????????? :h?:

I thought Barwit on first glance but thought the tertials looked rather too brown. The undertail, etc is too clean for a Dowitcher I think. I'll stick with adult female Barwit for no.1.

As for no.2... I reckon its what Harry says it is. ;) But in the meantime for something to say I'll go for Little Stint even though the colour looks wrong for what looks like adult winter plumage.
 
Both were photographed from my bedroom this week. Yes a small Bar-wit and an ad winter Dunlin
