I don't get it. Are we supposed to wait or guess now? Where are the other 20 pictures? Oh well, I don't have time to do this (sorry, CR) anyway. Without a book and some time, I recognize nothing except maybe No. 5 is my Oriental Greenfinch, a little tousled in the face, like me...
 
For these 5 Pics : first one is an Aegithalos species, second a Sunbird, third a whiteeye, (can´t get to species though, without lit) 4 idon´t know,
5 Carduelis sinica?
