Goa, India - December 2004

Chestnut-tailed Starlings are found in open country throughout India and South-east Asia. They are generally found feeding in pairs or small groups, but in Goa we observed a couple of flocks of over 50 birds feeding on fruiting trees alongside Jungle Mynas and Rosy Starlings.
