Spotted
The Daurian Starling is a striking migratory starling with iridescent black upperparts and contrasting white underparts. Males are particularly handsome with a glossy purple-green sheen.
Where to spot
Breeds across East Asia, including parts of Siberia, Mongolia, China, and Korea. It winters in Southeast Asia, reaching countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
How to spot
Look for large, active flocks, especially in agricultural areas, open woodlands, or near human habitation. Observe their distinctive two-toned plumage, particularly the contrast between dark upperparts and white underparts.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season in spring and summer in its northern range, or during the winter months (autumn to spring) in its southern wintering grounds. Migration periods offer good chances for sightings.
