Default A couple for confirmation

Just returned from a trip to Scotland. Could anyone confirm that these are Knot and the other 2 are Great Northern Diver. It looked like a Penguin when I first saw it! They were taken at Montrose Basin.

Thanks Mike. I should have realised the guillemot with that eye stripe! The Dunlin is good too as they are the first I'd seen this year!
