Me and my mouth!
I'm just off for a couple of days but first thoughts:

The first one is surely an Amara sp, quite likely A. aenea - I think there may be enough information on the picture to key it!

The second is probably a Harpalus sp but I'll need to give that more thought.

The third 'Pterostichus', was it more than 10mm long? In which case Pterostichus such as P. cupreus is quite likely.

These are all ground beetles (Carabidae).

Bye for now!
