Brahminy Starling
Brahminy Myna/Starling (Sturnia pagodarum)

Another one from my recent India/Nepal trip. I had a great few hours sitting quietly at the top of a water tower in amongst some foliage. Various things turned up, including a pair of these beauties.

70-200mm f4 + 1.4x TC
1/40 sec + a puff of fill flash
ISO 100

Any comments welcome!
