Image Details:

A sole Javan myna (Acridotheres javanicus), also known as the white-vented myna and a member of the starling family seen here having a break on top a walkway shelter. It is quite rare to see it sitting like a duck for such a prolonged period. Perhaps enjoying the cool drizzle and earlier was trying to doze off. This bird is native to Bali and Java. It has been introduced to other Asian countries, and as far away as Puerto Rico.
