Kingfishers are small unmistakable bright blue and orange birds of slow moving or still water. They fly rapidly, low over water, and hunt fish from riverside perches, occasionally hovering above the water's surface. They are vulnerable to hard winters and habitat degradation through pollution or unsympathetic management of watercourses. Kingfishers are amber listed because of their unfavourable conservation status in Europe. They are also listed as a Schedule 1 species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act offering them additional protection.

The Osprey or more specifically the Western Osprey (Pandion Haliaetus) — also called Sea Hawk, River Hawk, and Fish Hawk — is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range.
It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts.
Ospreys search for fish by flying on steady wingbeats and bowed wings or circling high in the sky over relatively shallow water. They often hover briefly before diving, feet first, to grab a fish.
After an osprey catches a fish, it arranges its feet to turn the fish so it faces head-first. This reduces aerodynamic drag, making the fish easier to carry as the osprey flies off to its nest or another perch to eat the fish.
Bald Eagles sometimes chase Ospreys and force them to drop their catch.
The Grey Francolin (Ortygornis Pondicerianus) is a sedentary bird, which is also commonly known as the Grey Partridge, not to be confused with the European Grey Partridge.
It is also known as the bhoora (brown) tittar or teetar in the Indian subcontinent because of its loud repeated calls.
It can be seen commonly in plains and dry areas of south Asia.
They are grayish-brown game birds with short stubbed tail. They are fast runners and prefer to run when approached or disturbed.
They take to wing only when surprised in the bushes or when persistently chased. Flight is swift and direct, attained by rapid vibrating wing strokes.
They are weak fliers and fly short distances, escaping into undergrowth. Bird drops into grass again after flying a couple of hundred meters.
