Spotted Forktail, beautiful, common so far, photographed recently in Shivapuri national park, Kathmandu

Hi, anyone know what type of birds these are, I have low certainty in my guess? They were found along a river's edge. Thanks!

Common birds in the farmland, field and open area in Kathmandu and other parts of the country

Himalayan Buzzard

Beautiful township of Rumjatar, where I was born, in eastern Nepal. Note the airfield on the left; landing there is pretty cool :-). Birds galore too, in the forest and ravine below... Short clip of an aircraft landing on this strip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDq0RBjSLeQ Sorry mods...

Red-Vented Bulbul

Himalayan Monal is an exotic wonder from Nature. This particular foraging male I found at lower Namche village , inside Sagarmatha National Park , in Nepal at an altitude of 3440m on 13th Nov 2014.

Saw this bird in Chitwan as well as elsewhere in Nepal where it is described as a common resident.

Another from Pokhara in Nepal, although not sure if it's a Siberian, a Common or another Chat species.

Only realised that this was a new one for me when I got home and cropped it to reveal it's yellow vent.

Feeding on rice put out for the poultry that was roaming around in a village below Nagarkot.

There were two of these perching in the roof of one of the huge elephant 'Kennels' at the Elephant Breeding Centre - poor light alas.
