There is also a largish group near my place (within my GBS area, about 25 of them), I'm pretty sure this is the most in the over 20 years I've been here. Maybe a few anecdotal obs means something, or maybe we need to wait till more results come in. They had been in decline over many years. Maybe the greater decline in the Starling has allowed them to increase, then again there is the complexity of the increase in the Myna. Their pleasant calls and nice appearance adds brightness so an increase would be nice.
 
Oh dare I add that "in Phillip" refers to the area named after Arthur Phillip with two "l"s (which over his life time would have cost at least one more biro (if they existed then) than my spelling.
