Taken on January 15, 2018 Location: Sanjivini Nagar, Jabalpur, India (Latitude: 23.172826, Longitude: 79.881881) Asian Pied Starling (अबलक मैना, सिरोली मैना) - Gracupica contra The pied myna or Asian pied starling ( Gracupica contra ) is a species of starling found in the Indian subcontinent. They are usually found in small groups mainly on the plains and low foothills. They are often seen within cities and villages although they are not as bold as the Common Myna. The picture in this post was taken in Jabalpur. You can see these noisy birds in hundreds early in the morning and towards the dawn.
