The Salvadori's Starling is a medium-sized starling recognized for its sleek, dark plumage often displaying a subtle gloss in good light. It's a social bird, typically found foraging in groups.
Where to spot
Typically found in eastern and northeastern Africa, inhabiting a range of environments from savannas and acacia woodlands to more open dry areas.
How to spot
Look for its dark, glossy appearance and listen for its varied, somewhat quiet calls. Patience is key, as they are often elusive, foraging in the canopy or dense bushes.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round within its resident range.
