Hello Baldoon,
confirmed! You have found and identified both Curlew Sandpipers!
There are two Curlew Sandpipers shown in your third picture (around the Common Redshank).
The other birds are:
picture 2: Greenshanks and two Dunlins
picture 3: Common Redshank and Dunlin
picture 4: Starling, Rock Pipit and Dunlin (I am not sure about the bird left of the Curlew SP, its either a Curlew SP or a Dunlin imo)
