Hi
Although further north - Brisbane - than your request, I have
noticed an increase, in the suburbs, of Mynas in the last couple of years.
They were always around properties out 'West" ie on top of the range, but I
don't remember seeing them commonly near the coast. Just lately, however, I
have seen them on several occasions in inner city suburbs.

Subject: Common Mynas creeping north
In the early 1990's I very regularly drove the Pacific Highway north of
Newcastle. At this time the northern most Common Mynas were at Nabiac
about 30 km south of Taree.
Last week I was at Lake Cathie, a small seaside town about 15 km south of
Port Macquarie. I was surprised to see a Common Myna just on the south
side of town. During the week I also saw two birds in Lake Cathie itself.
I went to Port Macquarie a couple of times over the week and didn't
notice any mynas there.
While this is only an expansion of range of about 90-100 km in ten years
and the birds were not common - only two sightings in a week - I think it
is still a worrying trend. Do others know of mynas on the NSW mid-north
coast further north further north than this?
