SE England- Macro and Micros IDs please

Hi,

Attached are a few of the moths I found yesterday night sheltering from the rain. Attachment #1 and #2 are of the same moth (about 12-15mm in size) but I have no idea what species!
I believe attachment #3 and #4 are micro moths of some kind (both between 6-10mm) but I can't pinpoint what they are either.

Thanks in advance

#3 is a good match for the Bryotropha terrella on http://www.hantsmoths.org.uk
