I'm not great on grasses, and I can't tell how tall it is or where it's growing, so I can only guess that the fifth image might be the flower/seed heads of the common reed Phragmites australis.

I hope this helps.

Impressive knowledge Nick. I don't suppose you know what the red berries are I entered in the comp this week?? To me they are just red berries, but I would be interested to know what they are?
Cheers
