Gulls to ID from South Africa (1 Viewer)

I'm pretty certain I'll be wrong again but I keep trying.
I thought 1-3 might be Hartlaub's Gulls and 4 & 5 might be Slender-billed Gulls.
I'm braced and ready to be shot down in flames and would appreciate some expert help!

Thanks Valery. Your time and effort in replying to my post is much appreciated.
I am pleased that somehow I succeeded in getting the fiscals and the flycatchers correct. I'm also pleased to have photographed a Hartlaub's Gull but a tad disappointed not to have a slender-billed gull. However, they are listed as rare vagrants in South Africa which is why I wasn't confident in my ID.
Thanks again,
Bob
