They look like they may be the duns,,,,, shells of something like damsel flies that pupate from their aquatic phase into the adult flying phase.

That is what I would have guessed. Damsel flies or mayflies.

I fully expected the Wagtail to grab a quick meal, but the empty shells obviously did not appeal. Seemed far more intrigued by the sound of the camera shutter than anything else, but not bothered because it then flew down onto a gravel beach about 6 ft away from me.
