Some more birds I'm less than sure of to assess whether to keep them in my life list or not. All taken in January or early February 2017.
1. On the grounds of a university in Pune. I called this one an Ashy Drongo based off the dark grey rather than black look to the chest and apparent look of a rictal.
2. Same location as 1: I called this a Black Drongo based partly off of the blacker look (although this could be lighting) and the presence of a rictal spot. I find Drongos to be a bit of a dark art so would be nice to get confirmations of these ones
3. In a residential area of Colombo. Another Drongo; I had called this a 'White-Bellied' but it looks like there are a fair few other drongo sp. possible and I'm not sure this can be identified from the photo.
4. From a lake in Kandy; I called this Indian Cormorant but I'm not sure how you separate from Little Cormorant?
5. Near Polonnaruwa. I had this one down as Green Imperial Pigeon based on shape in flight but... yeah I'm pretty sure this is nowhere near enough to claim it.
