They'll be fine planted out. Mine are on an east facing facing, and although the usual advice is a sunny site, they're pretty tolerant of anything. The one I had at my front door was in a north west site, and never had sun at any point. It's worth considering how else you want to plant up the garden. They'll be fine in their pots for a while. You'll need to lift turf to make a border, and prep the soil a bit anyway. The birds often disappear for a while through summer, so don't worry. You can attract them all year round depending on what facilities you have, and some cover from shrubs and some water are very useful. It doesn't have to be a big posh pond - a seed tray will give them somewhere to drink and bathe . It's a gradual process Not sure what photos I have, but I'll take a look. Jasmines aren't hardy everywhere in the Uk, but they need a sunny site. You'd need to have some suitable supports and train it in to get good coverage on the fence/wall. North facing won't suit.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I've always thought of Pyracantha as "leaning" and "piling" rather than climbing - a bit like wild blackberries.
I have 2 which have reached the top of my front wall after about 5 years (very poor soil), and am about to put a 2m high "horse fence" type structure just inside the wall so they get high enough to prevent people looking over.
In those I would personally plant them with the yellow in the middle to give more contrast.
If you do a bird bath, make it far enough away so the birds feel they can see around but are close enough to shelter immediately should a predator appear.
