Mynah



I missed a trick here, and with the tortoise below. Because it was indoors and the light was iffy and I was shooting through a mesh I put a fast lens on and opened it up as far as possible. This bird is a great talker, with an ear damaging range of sound effects as well, police sirens, phones, car doors slamming but what was most extraordinary was the range of facial expressions it has. Unfortunately it arches its neck and half turns whenever it makes these bizarre faces and I just didn't have the dof to get a good shot, so I think I'll go back this week and try again.
