Default 2 very small waders for id...!

Looking through my disastrous attempts at digiscoping on longton marsh yesterday,i found these 2 birds....they are tiny .Didi scoping is great fun ,but i still do not really understand how one pic can be great and the next is naff.......yesterday they were all naff,they all came out like this.....but they were a real long way off,and the light was not that good.
