I moved the fourth to a separate spotting, had assumed the same from a different angle as all taken within a few seconds of each other.

The specimen in the fourth photo doesn't look like a true bug (Heteroptera) at all!!!

Thanks, could it be the Forest Bug, Pentatoma rufipes, at least for the first 3. I only have a basic wildlife book for most of what I see. I think the fourth one is the same individual as it was taken 23 seconds after the others so I think just a different angle. Not found any pictures showing the underside.

It doens't look like H. halys. (The specimen in the last photo even less...)
