i'm irritated by the small yellow patch on bill base of lower mandible in the cormorant - otherwise looking like a socotra (but i haven't seen the sp.)

agree on 2 and 3 with tibault (gull-billed and kentish)

4 - no experience with the species either but it looks long billed and long tailed to me. long super. blurry median covert centres. is this a long-billed pipit?
 
Not sure about the first pic & agree with others on 2 & 3 and agree with Lou for last pic Long Billed Pipit. P.
 
Hello again
