I agree with what Black has said, although I think that number 1 may possibly be a Loggerhead Shrike, an American species. There are quite a few species in Europe, some are quite colourful with very nice markings.
I'm not sure that the European and North American Shrikes are really related to species such as the White-helmet Shrike, I think there are quite a few birds with Shrike in the name although they aren't in the same family as the true Shrikes.
