Some larks from Southern Africa, may be some Sabota, but I'm not sure.
The first from Sept. 22. Kruger NP, the second from November 10. from Namibia: Sesriem.
The third also from Namibia November 12. Mariental and the last from Nov. 13. Keetmanshoop.

Nice challenge. I'm loathe to try for No1, not really a good enough shot.

2 ooks good for Stark's.
3 and 4, agree, large-billed Sabotas.

Andy, I wouldn't bet the farm on #1 being Sabota, but given location (sat in a bush in Kruger) and what is visible in the photo, I'm pretty confident that's what it is!
Cheers, Duncan
