Hi, sighted these three warblers today at Yelahanka Lake in North Bangalore, India.
The second and third images are of the same bird, the fourth was similar to the second one, both of which were distinctly longer and larger than the first.
Thanks and have a good day.

Unsure about the first bird, but 2,3 & 4 seem to show Clamorous reed warbler.

Thanks Daniel, thought 2,3 & 4 were Clamorous Reed Warbler, since their calls was fairly short, wasn't certain.

Agreed, brunnescens CRW aka Indian Reed Warbler.

1st bird (1) is a Blyth's Reed, tricky angle but note, combination of slimmer bill, supercilium extending beyond eye, slimmer legs and shorter tail. Also, explains the noted size difference.
