15-04-2008 - Singing Jungle Myna

APAD_20080415 (Singing Jungle Myna)

This is a picture of a Jungle Myna (Acridotheres fuscus) I spotted on the branch of a tree growing in my apartment complex in RT Nagar, Bengaluru (India). The bird may have been around 10-12 feet away my balcony and this is the closest I could get.

I see a fair number of these birds (distinguishable by the shape of the hair at the forehead - if one comes close enough, or by the white bands on the wings - easily visible when the bird is in flight).
