Visitor

I just came face to face with a rather confused specimen of the Southern Hill Mynah variety in my garden just now. Here he is; all wattles and glossy plumage. A better picture of the beastie in question is here.



He mewed at me like a cat a few times, so I gave him some dried fruit and branflakes, which he troughed like a starving creature. Whereupon, he made a noise like a telephone, then got startled away by the postman. Wonder where the hell he came from? I quite liked him really.

Edit: well he's back now, eating dried strawberries and occasionally stropping his enormous orange beak on the manhole cover.
