Indian Roller's population is declining due to habitat loss and massive use of chemicals in the farming sector. Nice to see this one perched on electric wire.

This Rufous-tailed Shrike, was sitting next to the Indian Roller and when I was going to click, it emitted this tiny bomb. Sure, not out of fear of man.
White-tailed Lapwing, probably a pair, is a wintering migrant to my countryside.
Olive-backed Pipit, though could identify with certainty as it was perched high on the wire. Two spiders in my house. Caught one in my camera. Don't know its name, though.

That's a lovely collection!
(And the bomb is funny!)
We have the same problem in the UK with farming practices having destroyed so much of the habitat for birds.
