    Hi Mark,


    I have high res images too but I am struggling to upload them. I will crop them again today evening and see if we can derive any conclusions.


    Thanks once again.

    Hi Desmond, I'm doing well, thanks and enjoying almost daily birding now I'm back home. Just had a monster 3 weeks in Brazil with some excellent mammals on top of a bird list of just shy of 500 species.


    As regards your pics - the gulls look better for Steppe-types - certainly too pale for Heuglin's. Sadly the other 2 pics are too poor resolution to really study (and Little/Saunders' Terns impossible outside breeding plumage), though I'd take a guess at Desert Wheatear.

    Quite possible. Or perhaps a shot taken with a lens cap on. How have you been Mark?
