Great photos again John. Maybe the Tern is a young bird in the process of changing plumage?

Yes it is and you almost have all stages there from Juvenile to adult.

A couple taken in Spain & Morocco respectively.
Rock Bunting 
Blue-cheeked Bee-eater 
The next three are not so good photos but we haven't got them in the Gallery so I thought it best to upload them.
Collared Flycatcher (Male then female)  
From Morocco.
Crag Martin 
Some more tomorrow

The last five, all from Spain.
Alpine Accentor 
Calandra Lark 
Rock Sparrow 
Serin 
Golden Eagle 
I hope some of these are useful for Identifying purposes. Some of the photos are not great but I have uploaded them because either there isn't a photo of that species or these are better images than are already on.
