The OP says pics 1 & 2 are the same bird i.e. WW and the third pic is indeed Coal Tit imho.

Pic 3 is definitely a Coal Tit to me and I'd venture a freshly fledged one. I saw some in the garden today and they were on the ground a fair bit just like this.

I think willow warbler is a safe bet, I think willow tit for the third pic, but perhaps best left unidentified.

It comes down to can Coal Tit match the messiness of the bib as a juv. Willow Tit is common at Fairburn and Iexpect Coal is too.

From what I saw of the garden ones yes. They were pretty scruffy really. The little bit of the bill poking out the other side of that twig looks more 'titty' than 'sparrowy' too so at the very least I think we can say it's a Tit.
