Took this shot of Kestrel near Thatta city. The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, or Old World kestrel. In Britain, where no other kestrel species occurs, it is generally just called "the kestrel"

Took this shot in Margalla hills. This is indeed a very restless bird making it very difficult for a slow camera to capture it in its full grace. The Oriental white-eye (Zosterops palpebrosus) is a small passerine bird in the white-eye family. It is a resident breeder in open woodland in tropical Asia, east from the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia, extending to Indonesia and Malaysia. They forage in small groups, feeding on nectar and small insects. They are easily identified by the distinctive white eye-ring and overall yellowish upperparts. Several populations of this widespread species are named subspecies and some have distinctive variations in the extent and shades of yellows in their plumage.

Took this shot around Rawal Lake. This bird was far away, sitting on a 40-45 feet tall Eucalyptus tree. Because of lateral sunlight i still managed to get decent details on it. The Brahminy myna or Brahminy starling (Sturnia pagodarum) is a member of the starling family of birds. It is usually seen in pairs or small flocks in open habitats on the plains of the Indian subcontinent.

Indian palm squirrel:
My today's shot shows an Indian palm squirrel (Funambulus palmarum) eating a chunk of salted peanut that i put under an old araucaria tree. I took some 15, 20 shots as these little creatures forgot my presence when offered peanuts. I took this shot from 15 to 18 feet with my camera almost put on ground. The shot is not complete with feet and tail missing; I did it intentionally to achieve details on those keen little eyes and cute little hands. Its long tail was not fitting well in the frame. Vertically it is a complete shot. I cropped the original shot laterally from left side. I will post the complete shots in coming days.
