Oh gosh, people are even interested in mynahs? They are so common to me, I feel as though it's not important to Project Noah. Terrible assumption I guess. I'll definitely try to snap some pictures when I'm outside tomorrow, heh!

Do! One thing to remember is that some things that seem 'everyday' to us where we live are very interesting/beautiful to people in other parts of the world, and vice versa I guess :) One example is, the first time I went back to Singapore as an adult and we saw mynah birds- we got really excited! Then we saw them everywhere and realised they are one of the most common birds!!

Thanks! Project Noah is really fun but sadly I don't encounter much flora and fauna to take pictures of. I'll definitely keep an eye out for more though!

Thanks for the comments everyone. But sadly I dont know how to confirm what it really is. Also, what else can I do for this spotting? Do I have to add any more information? (though I have nothing more)
