Some wonderful shots Andy!
The Starlings are terrific and the male Lesser Kestrel is magnificent.
The mammal at the end of the series is a Marbled Polecat
A couple of suggested amendments:
I think you put the wrong photo under the caption for Crested Lark - it's a Mongolian Finch (as you correctly identify lower down).
Your shrike looks like Lesser Grey to me and the sandgrouse is, I think, Pallas's.
There are no Pale-footed Bush Warblers in Xinjiang. I believe your photo shows a Tawny Pipit.
Cheers
