Hope you like them.
Been away from birding and photography for almost 2 years. This was my real comeback.

Nice ones! The first is a Bluethroat, the second I'm not familiar with.

The second appears to be a light-vented or Chinese bulbul,  Pycnonotus sinensis... presumably photgraphed in Taiwan

Yes Chinese Bulbul indeed. The bluethroat was from Bharatpur, India. Don't miss a chance if you can go to Bharatpur. You will be amazed. Plan for February.
The Chinese Bulbul was from Taipei, Taiwan.
Thanks
