The Bronze-tailed Starling is a beautiful African starling, primarily iridescent blue-green over most of its body, but with a distinct coppery-bronze sheen on its tail, especially in certain light. It has yellow eyes.
Where to spot
Found across West and Central Africa, inhabiting savannas, woodlands, and forest edges, often in areas with scattered trees.
How to spot
Look for its overall blue-green iridescence but pay close attention to the tail for the diagnostic bronze sheen. Its yellow eyes are also a good field mark. Scan trees and open areas.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Resident throughout its range.
