Agree with Paddyfield Warbler and with Mark's ID as Hume's. The Accipiter is a Shikra, undertail-barring too narrow for Sparrowhawk and only five long fingers. I'd say the other warbler is Sylvia curruca ssp., it's exposed to sunlight thus with seemingly such a pale iris. The buzzard looks like a rather dark vulpinus.
hi rockfowl ....thanks for the reply....i showed the photo to another person not on birdforum and he said that humes would not have lower yellow mandible.....bill base yellow not orange.....supercilium has clear yellow tinge

I´s also say the warbler photo before the shikra shows lesser whitethroat Sylvia curruca, though perhaps an eastern?
some of these have quite pale iris.

Google Hume's Warbler, many show a yellow basal to the lower mandible and the supercilium and wingbar show buff tones on my monitor, not the yellow/white of Yellow-browed. The dark base to the secondaries, the 'wingbar-shadow' as it were, rules out Greenish.
