Spotted
The White-winged Starling is a distinctive African starling known for its dark, glossy body plumage contrasted with conspicuous white wing patches, particularly visible in flight. It has a relatively long tail.
Where to spot
Distributed across central and eastern Africa, typically found in open woodlands, savannas, cultivated areas, and clearings, often near human habitation.
How to spot
Look for its dark body and bright white wing patches as it flies or perches. They often forage in small groups on the ground, so scan open areas.
When to spot
Can be observed throughout the day, being most active in the cooler parts of the morning and late afternoon. Resident species.
This species often forages on the ground, walking with a deliberate gait, but quickly takes to the air with its striking white wing flashes when disturbed.
