Looks like a Redshank at the top of the top image and a Moorhen in the bottom image,I can't make out the bird on the right tho,could be another Gadwall or a Teal?

I agree totaly with Gadwall, could'nt see a moorhen anywhere, But looking at the structure of this wader and colour ect I feel it's a winter plumage Blacktailed Godwit.
