Not easy. You need a bigger lens, & get closer to the birds, & also crop the images lots.

#1 is a Spangled Drongo

#2 don't know, Whistler or Shrike-thrush maybe.

#3 don't know, wild guess Grey Fantail

#4 Forest Kingfisher? I think

I agree with Steve, If you don't have a big lense or can't get closer, then cropping the image helps get in for a closer look.

While some birds like the Spangled Drongo (Pic 1) are easy to identify from a distance, others like the Grey Shrike-Thrush or Female Rufous Whistler (Pic 2) look very similar and you need that close up.

Anyway, I've rabbited on long enough.

I also agree with Steve

#1 is a Spangled Drongo

#2 Probably go with female Rufous Whistler as I can kinda see a light rufous colour underneath.

#3 Grey Fantail

#4 Forest Kingfisher

Cheers
