Hi all, I posted a couple of these a while back as BOC shots (photos 1 and 4) but wanted to share the originals, alongside some other birds I'd like ID confirmation for. All photos taken in Khiva or the surrounding desert.
1 & 2. Provisionally ID'd as chiffchaff.
3. Wheatear sp., I'm leaning towards Isabelline?
4. Provisionally ID'd as Menetries' Warbler
5 & 6. I think this is just a scruffy chiffchaff?
7. Pied Bushchat?
8. Think this is just a Black Redstart
9. Rufous cap + strong eyestripe = Turkestan/Red-Tailed Shrike?
And as a bonus 10. a non-passerine flock which I'm pretty sure is totally non-IDable, but I thought I'd share it anyway because I can't even work out what family it could be.
