Great post as always - but Bee-eater and Hoopoe are two of my top "wants" to see and photograph.

Would that be a saccus plasticus niger??

Love your photos. :thumb:

Lovely light and photos, not been down in that area since 2000 and that was definitely pre-digital so would love to go back there armed with today's kit.

A few identifications...

Your Eastern Black-eared Wheatear could be either Desert or Pied Wheatear - sorry I've not seen adults in recent years and am rather rusty.
The Yellow Wagtail is a Grey Wagtail
As far as I can see all Greenshanks are Green Sandpipers
Your Woodchats (Shrike) are both Stonechats, female on top and male underneath.

I guess 'Red Stilt' is a local name for them? I think the more general name would be Black-winged Stilt.

All the best,
Dave

Really nice set. Bee Eater and the Hoopoe are cracking.
