I reckon that the two birds were not the same one.

I agree. These are different birds. The second is clearly a Red-necked Stint with an odd-looking bill. I am not sure what the first is. It may be a Spoon-billed Sandpiper but I personally think it is  ...

It does not look like a red-necked stint because of the colour around the neck.  I may suggest that it is a spoon-billed sandpiper with mud on its bill.
