#1 Is it Caspian?
#2 The gulls in the background, are they Lesser black-backed?
#3 I think Isabelline, but maybe something else?
#4 & 5 Not exactly sure.

Photographed in April last year.

Thanks for your input!

I’m thinking Isabelline Wheatear for image 3.

Cheers

not so easy with the gulls. while in pic 2 you have both steppe gulls -paler mantled, and heuglin's gulls - the darker mantled ones, both belonging to Larus fuscus these days, the 2cy in pic 1 isn't at all easy - could be either cachinnans or barabensis. on likelyness barabensis (steppe gull).
