Yep, same bird, if you read the original post, says 'two different birds' for the 3 photos, with the 1st photo at a different location

thanks for the replies - just for a while I thought it might have been a water pipit, but obviously not

and yes, I only notice the missing foot when perusing the pictures - I hadn’t noticed it when observing the bird on the coastal defences
