Correct answers have now been posted for all the pictures!
It's down to someone to put together all the pieces now.

The second one looks like an Eagle-owl, I shall guess Bengal
I think it might be a Diana Monkey for the fourth one.
And I have a feeling that the fifth one might be a laughingthrush of some kind... not so sure why I think that though

I think the third one may be a hog deer.
The nose really doesn't give much of an idea for size though.

Two correct guesses floating about 
Having googled all of the guesses and compared images, I think those two correct guesses are corncrake for 2 and Diana Monkey for 4.
I doubt you'll tell me if that's correct though

Oh so I see how it is. Everybody gives up on me but then you give it right back to TLD again
I'm going to guess European Adder, Vipera berus, for number 1.

Gosh! Three species I have seen in the wild and I didn't get any of them, although my previous comment about the cordon bleu species still applies. South African giant kingfishers are very different from the West African race! Alan

I think TLD may have broken it, again
But I'll give it another crack:
1) Hungarian Meadow Viper
2) Corncrake
3) Sambar Deer
4) Diana Monkey
5) Some sort of Flycatcher maybe?
6) Some breed of domestic fowl

It's not as if many people have guessed yet, and some have only guessed for one or two photographs - so don't speak too soon
Here's a clue though; they are all photographs taken by myself - so any taxon which I could not have seen can be safely ruled out.
A few people have been skating close to correct answers.
I don't know, something about TeaLovingDave's posts just seems to turn people off to this thread.
