Isn't the tern a Whiskered? Not a Gull-billed anyway, with the obvious red in the bill.

I agree the tern is a Whiskered and I think that the Shrike is Bay-backed not Brown.

Whiskered Tern and the shrike probably Bay backed. Burmese would be a possibility but hard to see from this pic and might be rare.

Thanks all for ur help and we have Long-tailed Shrike & Bay-backed Shrike in our area, Brown-shrike is a winter visitor as per Grimmet & Inskipp - Birds of the Indian Subcontinent....May I conclude in from the above comments that it is an immature Bay-backed Shrike...........
