I caught this one standing in the balcony of my house - it was at the max about 30 feet from me but didnt appear bothered by any movement.
I tried looking up my bird book but couldnt find out which one this is. Any idea?
UPDATE: Thanks to Aniruddha, got details on the bird. This is what I got "The Brahminy Myna (or "Mynah") or Brahminy Starling (Sturnia pagodarum) is a member of the starling family of birds". |
