Birds on the coast, Western Algeria (1 Viewer)

Hi there

Saw these on a walk on a rocky coast today. Any ID help much appreciated.
My guesses were Wheatear (maybe an unusually coloured black w.) and possibly a lesser black-backed gull.

Cheers, Spocki

Bearing in mind the locality it is surely a Lesser Crested Tern rather than Great Crested, and the first bird looks like a female Black Wheatear.
