Coal Tit
The coal tit, is a small, active passerine bird in the tit family, Paridae. A widespread and common resident breeder in forests throughout the temperate to subtropical Palearctic, including North Africa. They have a dazzling geographic variation and inhabit coniferous and mixed woodland, forest, parks, and gardens. They visit bird feeders and are associated with foothills and montane areas throughout much of its eastern range. They often join mixed-species flocks in autumn and winter, moving quickly through the foliage and giving high-pitched calls.

Brahminy Starling
The Brahminy Starling or Brahminy Myna is a small fawn-colored starling with a long wispy crest that usually lies limp over the back of its head, but the feathers on its cheek and upper breast stand up and away from its cheek. Note the yellow bill with a blue base. Often seen in small family groups, feeding on fruits and nectar as well as insects on the ground or in the trees. They have a wide repertoire of calls and are also given to mimicking other species.

Common Kingfisher
#Kingfishers are a family of small to medium-sized, brightly coloured birds in the order #Coraciiformes. They have a cosmopolitan distribution, with most species found in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The family contains 114 species and is divided into three subfamilies and 19 genera. I have been able to photograph a few of these across Asia Pacific with some coming quite easily and some coming after waiting for hours, damp and cold but worth every bit the wait. Featured here is the beautiful Common Kingfisher.

Pallas’s Gull
Pallas's gull, also known as the Great Black-headed Gull, is a large powerful gull of saline, brackish, and fresh water bodies. Breeding adult has a black head with a thin incomplete crescent around the eye and a red-and-black-tipped bill. Non-breeding adults retain a partial “hood” of patchy black on the back of the head.
The eye crescents and a flashing white rump help to distinguish first-winter birds from Herring-type gulls. Can be readily separated by size in any plumage from the smaller dark-headed gulls.
As is the case with many gulls, it has traditionally been placed in the genus Larus. The scientific name is from Ancient Greek. Ichthyaetus is from ikhthus, "fish", and aetos, "eagle".

Long-tailed Sibia
Truly long-tailed, even for a sibia, this bird appears rather dainty and small-headed in comparison with most of its relatives. Gray overall, darker on the wings and tail, it mostly lacks the contrasting patterns of other sibias, with only a small white patch near the wingtip. It forages in flocks in open hill forests, edges, and adjacent scrubby second growth. Despite its striking appearance, it is often heard before it’s seen.
