2. Right: 4 great/white-breasted cormorants. Left: either Cape cormorant or crowned cormorant - given that it looks less than adult, I'll leave it there.
3. Likely greenshanks or marsh sandpipers.

Left should be Cape cormorant: no sign of red eye, relatively long bill, no sign of the "crown", the feathers which stick up at the front.
Greenshanks for me. General heft and shape
