An Asian Pied Starling in Flight

This is such a common bird around us and a very fast flyer. I have tried so many times to get a decent flight shot and failed most of the time. But luckily managed to get it right on this occasion.

 

I have heard a few birders say that the bird was once a migrant from the northern India, but somehow it managed to adapt itself in the south. It is now seen everywhere. The bird is towards the end of its breeding season and its nest can be on top of electric poles, bare branches that extend out visibly long.

 

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
