<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> As Story Posted in <a href="http://www.yugworld.net/2017/02/malabar-parakeet.html#.WKNMIn8-gqI">Malabar Parakeet</a>  i was on a terrace of allotted studio room of Club Mahindra on 05/02/17 with new friend Mandar Prabhu.we had sighted more than 10 species in the morning.<br /> The temperature was at 10 degree n windy weather so thought to go and sleep again coz feel was about of 8 degree and i had felt minimum of 10 degree.but i stick there for new birds and i was lucky coz after clicking Malabar Grey Hornbill around at 7am n clicked ome shots but due to low light,those were not up o my mark n did bird watching coz tree was not more than 30ft n just little above the eye level.<br /> After 8am started clicking photos n around 8.30am 3-4 Hill myna came there.1st time seen its neck lappets or nape patches,while its head was down..looks so beautiful.it was Lesser Hill Myna.<br /> <b></b>It averages 9 to 10 inches in length, including its tail. The eye and nape patches are not joined and the back wattle patches curve around up toward the crown in a U shape. This myna has a slightly narrower beak than the Greater Hill Myna. ( <a href="https://www.beautyofbirds.com/commonhillmynas.html">source</a> )<br /> i had clicked so many shots of Lesser Hill Myna but this pic shows its nape patches were down otherwise you can't see as per my opinion. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPkV9NT0PdVxVGiqTznd3qEPom8-y9_jifrT4_1qjtw0MFUh-wbIXzQwTouvy2gFTQXEdWEHSjaTM2Ajt6sj6O0eXlYqjmduYd06RCBKXKJTxWIYXucXGB4VxOFPnhPA0r8j7WreqbGVZH/s1600/Lesser+Hill+Myna.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPkV9NT0PdVxVGiqTznd3qEPom8-y9_jifrT4_1qjtw0MFUh-wbIXzQwTouvy2gFTQXEdWEHSjaTM2Ajt6sj6O0eXlYqjmduYd06RCBKXKJTxWIYXucXGB4VxOFPnhPA0r8j7WreqbGVZH/s640/Lesser+Hill+Myna.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Exifs :<br /> Canon 7D Mark2<br /> Manual Mode<br /> f /5.6 || Shutter speed 1/1000 || ISO 800 || 600mm || White Balance : Daylight<br /> Madikeri, Karnataka</div>
