White-necked Myna - Indonesia 2006 (Streptocitta albicollis)

White-necked Myna - Flores Island, Indonesia 2006

Ok guys, this is a good one...
My guide told me of a report of the first ever recorded pair of this species in Flores... he knew where to go (3 hours walk to a cool site with a waterfall... as a matter fact, the one as bg, behind the trees) 'cause they where building a nest.
If I was exited, you should have seen him! He explained, that before this pair the only ones reported where in Sulawesi... so, we saw them and enjoy them as the big thing!!!
