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.
Only see a black image, Des
There were three image. Not sure what happened. I will upload them separately.
Crow in a coal mine. ;-)
Quite possible. Or perhaps a shot taken with a lens cap on. How have you been Mark?

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.
