Hi Seb,
I think your second is The Spectacle, Abrostola tripartita. A similar one was ID's here yesterday, and apparently frontal views show why... EDIT: See this selected, illustrative shot: http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=2704

The first is a Straw Underwing, the second two are the Spectacle.

You see the pair of glasses in that first shot, then? Oh, and your third may be the very common Large Yellow Underwing, Noctua pronuba. |

Glad you say that, Large Yellow was the closest I could find! We have lots in work at the moment, seen 5 in the last 2 days. Also some very similar but a greenish yellow colour ? Yes I can see the specs, fantastic moth! |

Yeah, the third is a Large Yellow Underwing - they are quite variable. | | |
