Common Mynas in the Capertee Valley NSW

[Carol Probets <>]

Great report Nikolas.

It's interesting that you saw a Common (Indian) Myna at Crown Station 
Road. Until December 2008 there had only been one record of of a 
single Common Myna in the Capertee Valley. Since then I've seen small 
groups several times between Glen Davis and Glen Alice. Unfortunately 
it seems they might be moving into the valley. I'd be interested to 
hear of other sightings.
Cheers,

Carol
