  1. Yes, I remember that. Sounds like he has had a relapse.

  2. Crikey Tony, I thought that you hung up your bins and sold your optics a couple of years ago, what happened?

  4. I’m with you both there…. But just as long as an equal amount of effort spent chasing ticks is spent on saving native birds, I don’t mind and say – go for it! I know lots of serious tickers are also dedicated conservationists.

Tom [6]Carl Clifford Monday, 8 December 2014 3:36 PM Martin, I agree. I have seen them throughout Asia and regard them as the avian equivalent of the Spotted Hyena and should be exterminated ASAP. Having said that, I expect to get flamed like last time. Carl Clifford

This bird needs to be shot or otherwise exterminated asap – from my observations in Tanzania, House Crows were invented to make Common Mynas look desirable.

I think there’s a hoard of melb birders down at the moment. Both Tim Bawden and I have seen the bird a few times in flight. It seems to be associating with some Little Ravens. I chased bird down Park Street opposite shrine. Good luck to all! James Mustafa 0400951517 [15]www.jamesmustafajazzorchestra.com
