Or just "Pigeon Post"? Or even "Recreational Route". Anyway, Wood Pigeon, UK, awaiting the best title I can give it.
Yay, I'm glad for you!
Really nice to get that angle - I'd guess you were half way up a mountain at the time.
... well, a park fence round a pond, any way.

The House Martins were in the process of building this nest from harbour mud, though I think they gave up on it over the coming days. Why the sparrow was interested I do not know!
Black-backed gull in Saundersfoot, UK - far from a rare bird, but I'm always pleased when I get a bird in flight sharp.

Oh, and as a bonus, less action, more classic
Sometimes it takes everything you've got to get those feathers correct!
Young gull, probably either Black-backed or Herring.

I'm deeply sorry - I just left it to your imaginations :)
This pleases me as you can see everything you need to see, yet lots more is hidden. Reading, UK Canon R6 + RF800mm
I'm sure there's a good joke in there somewhere, but I can't think of it.

Oh, and a bonus quizzal look:
Perhaps a proper Kite photo to compensate, possibly even the same bird.
I mean, I guess it's a jackdaw at a very strange angle, but I can't make sense of it!

This is all sorts of wrong, but for some reason I like it. Perhaps you will too.
Not that you'd want to emulate, but Canon R6 + RF800mm
Oh, very well done - and if that level of camera shake is all you have to worry about, you're a far better photographer than I! Just a bit of a shame the file downloaded so slowly I didn't get to the end before other things called, but that's not on you.
Just because I like a good glossy crow when I get lucky with sunlight.

Male Mandarin Duck preening itself. The female was obscured by vegetation, which is a shame because they have a subtle beauty to them so different from the flashy male.

I like the contrast. Reading, UK Horse Chestnut (I guess) and Blue Tit Canon R6 + RF800mm 1/1250s, ISO2500
Those are the tools to play with (might also be called Gamma Adjustment), but I think in this particular case, because of those lovely areas where the sun is shining through, having the rest of the body dark (and the sky bright) works really rather well.
Fun, and nice to see a classic LBJ (Little Brown Job - you know, that species of bird you're always seeing but can never name) in a different light.
Wow, did everything just align for you, or was there some method you could share to getting such a great shot? To get the light suggests only one good direction to be pointing in, to get the detail they must have been quite close, and to get the kite to be turning to show its "catch" off and the crow likewise to get the light on its feathers so well ... I'm very jealous.
Looking at Wikipedia entries, Google's ID by appearance seems good (but might also be a Painted Stork). However, Yellow-Billed Storks are African, and Milky Storks South-East Asia, so given the OPs location, the latter seems more likely.
I find the Cornell Lab's Merlin Photo ID very good, but it would be too much time & effort to download the SE Asia pack for one photo :)
Ah, I meant which country was it taken in - I'm from the UK, and I don't recognise the bird: most like one of our moorhens I supoose.
Let's see if this works
This is the JPG from Canon's DPP4, so still noise removal but nothing like as directed. The improvement is not that obvious until you zoom in, but moves the photo from ho-hum to just about shareable.
Looking back at my old photos from various locations, that "not round pupil" thing in wood pigeons seems more often present than not. I wasn't something I'd looked previously out for.
