Okay, then it must be a female Redstart. My bad.
VincentTeeuwen
:) yes, it's orange. Just like on the image from the link above.

Juvenile Black Redstart fits better than robin for the third. Does your second bird, the female, have red on the undertail? (I'm colorblind, can't tell)
VincentTeeuwen
Checked your suggestions, but I think they are all Black Redstart. First Male, second female, third juvenile.
Liam
First photo is a Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros), second photo is a Spotted Flycatcher (Muscicapa striata), and the third is a juvenile bird, maybe a European Robin (Erithacus rubecula). I suggest you split these into three different spottings.
