My brother took these photos in Jordan, and would like identification if possible. Here is what he says about them:

They're ones that I couldn't identify in the field (fall 2003, eastern desert of Jordan, beside an oasis with open water, but no trees or even tall brush), and forgot about them until just lately as I browsed the photos. I think 004 is a spotted flycatcher, which I also saw in Greece. 009: maybe Hippolais sp warbler? 009 may be Upcher's warbler. 003 possibly a Sylvia species?

Anyone have ideas?

I think the first and last are Willow warblers based on bill stucture and wing length. The middle bird could well be a Spotted Flycatcher

Would agree with Jane on these ones
