  1. Wheat (from a bird feeder?)
  
  2. Willowherb ... flamin' nuisance ... don't let it seed whatever you do!  hundreds of fluffy seeds float everywhere and take root. 
  
  3. Not sure ... could be a Nigella ... or could be one of the Mayweeds.

  I agree with @Dovefromabove but I don't think the 3rd one is Nigella, I think it's Mayweed.

  Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

  Why does the third one look like dill or even cosmos?

  Or even fennel?
  Crush a leaf and see what it smells like.

  In London. Keen but lazy.

  Thanks for posting @Completerookie (here's your mate, btw!) I've got a lot of this - possible - Mayweed popping up and wasn't sure what it might be. Just found this interesting bit of information which might be of use:
  Scentless mayweed | Garden Organic
  Scented mayweed | Garden Organic
  
  It does seem to have benefits so I might leave a couple of them alone. Good luck with yours!

  The bottom one could be the type of wild fennel which freely self-seeds. Could also be a dill I suppose, without me going out to look at the fennelly one I have. The fennelly ones I have are more upright and not so floppy. Therefore my final vote goes for the "mayweed" or Tripleurospermum maritimum.
