Wheatear
Yellowhammer
Not sure but thinking possibly female wheatear due to the black tail and looks like there could be a white rump patch too.

Agree Wheatear, Yellowhammer. Think number three my be a Meadow Pipit.

Thanks a lot for the comments. Think the last one might have been a rock pipit then.

I don't think the last one is a Pipit, tail looks too short, has a look of a Wheatear to me.
