Those gannets are a sight to behold! Wonderful, nan!

I'm not really good at terns, but for the first one, I wouldn't think that it is a common tern. The beak in your photo seems to big for that.
And the feet are black not red. Maybe a Caspian tern.

The other one could be a lesser crested, but might as well be some sort of juvenile which I wouldn't know. Better to wait for Dewi.
