Yesterday morning in Kingston, a pair of adult mynas (watched by an accompanying juvenile, presumably learning the trade) seemed to be making a serious and persistent attempt on the life of an immature Mag-Lark. On principle I don't normally intervene in nature, but where exotics are concerned I reckon the rules are different. Technically I should perhaps have waited to see the outcome, but in practice I couldn't in this case. Sorry about the lousy pics, but it was all pretty frenetic.
