White-vented Mynas Perhaps it is because I missed seeing this bird that I felt that it must have been ages ago since I saw it last. Without fail, when the birds are in the vicinity of my housing estate, they would pop by my garden. Well! This is year end time now. How do I know that they would come? That's because they are such noisy birds. This year 2020, there had been a few visits by unusual Mynas, most visit so far turned out to be disappointment. Anyway not all is lost, also welcoming for me as those times when the Jungle Mynas showed. Back to this week. This year, the long wait is over. White-vented Mynas are here now. Saw them and without loosing time, got new pictures of them too. Then, I followed through, checked out their usual haunts for more pictures.
