Hi
Could you identify these plants for me please?
Plant 1
Close up
Interwoven with my tree peony
(No idea why this is sideways sorry!)
Another close up
Plant 2 - Is this a weed?
Close up
Plant 3
This is rampaging through my back yard
So prob another weed, right? I do quite like it though.
Sideways again! 
Oh just one more please,
Plant 4
Is this an oak tree leaf?!
I can take a further pic of what looks more like a shrub if needed.
Thanks

Haha, ignore my ramblings about sideways pic - they were on my mobile!
1 cotoneaster, couldn't say which one
the little red/orange one is Scarlet Pimpernel, a rather lovely native annual
the next is some sort of potentilla, does the pink flower belong to it? if it does it's not the weedy Potentilla reptans which the leaves resemble.
The last is not oak, a better look would help. might be some kind of sorbus, doesn't look quite right for hawthorn
In the sticks near Peterborough
Ooh thank you
yes the pink flower belongs to it
I'm rather pleased neither of my weeds are weeds
The 'not oak' appears to be growing from an old stump
