The location suggests they should all be Western,but most seem too short-billed to me?

Hi AARDY, and welcome to birdforum!
I think most look good for Western, however, you also have 2 Sanderling and 1 Semi-palmated Plover

Thank you. I thought they must be but was confused as on my previous visit to the same site two years ago all the 'peeps' had longer bills and were obvious Westerns-see attachment.

Western Sandpiper, I would say.
