Can anyone confirm ID on the bird(s) in this picture? On the right appears to be a Kestrel. I'd be grateful for confirmation on these though. It was taken a couple of weeks ago in Sheringham.

Can't see a black 'armpit', so I'd opt for Golden, or possibly a Sanderling (short bill).
Can't help much on the raptor though the tail does look a bit 'forked' for a Kestrel (moult effect?)
 
:-C That's weird, could have sworn when I zoomed in originally it looked black underneath!

Edit: Just figured out that a change in the angle of my laptop screen can make the underside of the bird look dark or light! Weird, I need a new laptop, Mum.
