A Crested Myna's Body English in Mid-air

[Romy Ocon]

This bird was on a flight path heading straight to my position along the bank of Bued River. Then it saw me pointing a big, white metal tube in its direction. Thinking perhaps that I was a threat, the bird quickly tried to change course, and I caught it in the middle of an interesting-looking body twist.

Another incredible capture, Ka Mastah! These birds fly really fast, and still your photo freezes it in mid-air with such detail!!
