Here is batch 2

My guesses:

1 ??
2 Gull-billed tern
3 Kittlitz's Plover, perhaps juvenile as there are few markings to ID it
4 Bush buck - sorry, I know it's not a bird.
5 Cisticola, perhaps Rattling.

Many thanks.
Phil

agree with 1 but Black Tern would be a mega, rather another Whiskered
Buck is a Reedbuck

5, Rattling over and over again ?
After all, why not a Ashy Cisticola.

I think I agree with juvenile Kittlitz's Plover for #3

The second tern is actually a White-winged black teen, one of those individuals with a grey rump...

The reedbuck is a Bohor.

I can’t answer with any degree of accuracy but I can say that if look through the many thousands birds available on alkaline lakes in East Africa during boreal winter, you should pick up a couple of grey-rumped birds. Yet the rump OP individual is particularly extreme/dark I must say.
