Re: Myna in New Brighton, Christchurch
Our Myna is still present in the New Brighton area. See it every few weeks, last time, a few days ago on Seaview Road outside Nuffield Kindergarten. Seems to like the Seaview Road/Hawke Street corner area. Local community facebook group has had a couple of reports of it a few weeks ago in Collingwood Street, so hasn't moved far since first seen 27 months ago. Unfortunately it didn't grace my backyard during the bird count!

Still around - 30 months now. Flew east over Hardy Street at noon today. See it every couple of weeks mainly within 100m of the New Brighton (Seaview Road/New Brighton Road/Hawke St/Owles Tce) roundabout, but I have never seen it over the city side of the river.

I had an unsuccessful search for this bird this afternoon, had anyone seen it recently?

Here's hoping it is an ex-Myna.

Re: Myna in New Brighton, Christchurch
If it is just a solitary Myna, without a mate, there shouldn't be any worries.
