i thought sandwich terns myself sanderling threw me as i was thinking gull pics are 3wks old unsure with spectacled as i thought they had very bright legs and this ones are black, will hold fire for now, cheers for your help.

The 'spectacled' look of that sylvia warbler in the first two photos does not yet make it a Spectacled Warbler... The legs and bill are too dark, the breast too pale, and the brown wing panel is way too dull for that species.
It is a Subalpine Warbler.

It was more the apparently rusty tones in the wing that made me go for Spectacled, but admittedly I was worried that it wasn't bright enough, and the leg colour, even allowing for shadow is on the dark side. Most Subalpines I've seen have had duller wings than this, but I'm happy enough to accept it being Subalpine
