Bernie - not a pest
The Indian minah is, yes.... but this is a native, noisy yes, sometimes annoying yes, and can drive some birds out yes .....
but still supposed to be here

Narelle,

Now this is one hell of a good bird shot!

Very sharp, good vertical composition, bird looking at camera and a great background.

One to be proud of

Cheers

well done rel,

this is a good shot. well composed and exposed, good eye contact and sharp.

Sometimes these guys can be hard to pin down!!

was amusing a couple of weekends ago when I was messing with the manual focus 600f4!

Ones called a Noisy Miner and the other is the Common Indian Myna. Two totally different birds with totally different spelling even though they do sound the same

Great shot Rel, I normally not a keen one for a lot of branches in a bird shot as they usually detract from the bird and become distracting. However these branches don't distract at all and makes for a great environmental shot. Top marks.

What glass did you use for this shot?

Wow guys - was not expecting such a good response to a noisy miner (sorry about the previous spelling)

Albert - I was actually using the 105mm 2.8 micro Nikon lens while shooting my flower shots, when this sweety decided to land pretty much on top of me

And for Bernie - this is an Indian Mynah , so now you can tell the difference.
