Need some help --- Birds in South Korea (1 Viewer)

Hi I saw birds in South Korea that I cannot seem to identify. I have been trying to figure them out using (http://www.birdskorea.org/Gallery/BK-GA-Gallery.shtml) but am not sure of a few.

These were seen in Jeollanam-do and Jeollanbuk-do (전라남도, 전라북도). I apologize for the poor photos, they are the best I could manage. The birds were seen in August.

Bird 1: Are these Azure-winged Magpie? They were about the size of a magpie if I remember correctly. It was seen in Gochang.

Bird 2: Is this a house sparrow?

Bird 3: Looked like some sort of dove. Is it an Oriental Turtle Dove?

Bird 4: This was seen in Jeon-ju. Could it be a Great Egret?

Bird 5: Could this be a Black-legged Kittiwake? I believe this was taken in Mok-po.

1. Azure-winged Magpies, juveniles
2. Tree Sparrow
3. Oriental Turtle Dove
4. can we safely exclude Intermediate Egret on that photo alone?
 
Thank you both for your help. If memory serves the egret was quite large with a rather long neck, but being a novice I do not know how much larger the great is from the intermediate.
