The blue-tailed bee-eater (Merops philippinus) is a near passerine bird in the bee-eater family Meropidae. It is widely distributed across South and Southeast Asia where many populations are strongly migratory, and seen seasonally in many parts but breeding colonially in small areas across their range, mostly in river valleys, where they nest by tunnelling into loamy sand banks. They are seen mostly in open habitats close to water.

The brown-headed gull is a small gull breeding in the high plateaus of central Asia from Tajikistan to Ordos in Inner Mongolia. It is migratory, wintering on the coasts & large inland lakes of the Indian Subcontinent. Its pale button eyes give it a somewhat fearsome appearance. The breeding adult’s head is the color of milk chocolate, lightening towards the bill. Non-breeding & first-winter birds have a dark ear patch and faint traces of the dark hood. All plumages may be confused with the smaller Black-headed Gull, but note the pale eyes and more extensive black on the primaries in all plumages. Breeds on high-altitude lakes on the Tibetan Plateau and winters on marshes, estuaries, lakes and rivers, most often in coastal areas.

The black-naped oriole is a passerine bird in the oriole family that is found in many parts of Asia. A typical yellow and black Old World oriole, the male is entirely golden-yellow apart from black wings & tail and a broad black band through the eyes. The tail and wings have yellow tips and the bill is deep pinkish. The female is similar to the male but with more yellowish-green upperparts. Juveniles show streaked underparts. They are found in a variety of forest habitats, including plantations and gardens; foraging in the forest canopy. There are several distinctive populations within the wide distribution range of this species and in the past the slender-billed oriole was included as a subspecies.
