Water birds (Madrid, Spain) (1 Viewer)

Hello everyone. I saw these birds this morning in a lake near Madrid (Spain). What species do you think they are?

1 and 2 were taken with just some seconds of difference. At the moment, I thought they were the same birds (they are three in both pictures), but now I am not sure about it.

4 includes at least two species. What are those? Do you see more than two species? Is any of these the same as in 3?
