It was a sight to behold seeing about a few hundred (maybe more) mynahs all over just one square of one part of the Balang padifields. The noise was was significant. The mynahs were busy with foraging when they were interrupted by by a much larger bird flying into their safety zone. A small bunch took off and flew towards the raptor catching up with it and started mobbing it with much chirping. The flock of mynahs chased the unknown raptor right across two padifield squares towards the mangroves causing the raptor to fly low in order to avoid the mob. It finally settled on a tree towards the edge of the padifields near the mangroves whilst the mynahs flew back towards their original corner. Birds of a feather flock mob together!
Pei Hao managed to grab a great shot of the mobbed raptor :-
