                      Sorry, am zero with birds! This picture is fantastic and the feel can be improved by cropping out the sky.

                      Great going!

                            Have included ids for some in bold below, those which I could recognize and then confirm from Grimmet & Inskipp's Pocket Guide to the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent:

                            Those are bee-eaters, judging by the yellow throat and the black gorget chestnut-headed bee-eaters.

                            The same Flying - its a fly catcher


                            Same as above



                            Looks like a white cheeked barbet



                            Initially thought they were black drongos but then drongos don't have light coloured beaks ...

                            Edit: Perhaps male Asian Koels

                            Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

                              Wow that was spot on! Thanks for the names

                              But I feel they might not be male koels bcoz Koels are not ash colored.. and ofcourse not drongo as drongos ve fish tail, aint it
