1 Shelduck juv.
2 IMO Greenshank
3 IMO Probable Green Sand (left). Note sharp division between breast bib and white of belly. With IMO Grey Plover. The distinct white supercilium is what i base my ID on here. Unless it's an American GP of course!; )

I didn't get the Shelduck, but I did think Greenshank and Grey Plover for the others.
