Fischer's Starling is a pale, sandy-colored starling from East Africa, with a dark, iridescent tail and wings, and distinctive pale eyes. Its overall subtle coloration helps it blend into arid environments.
Where to spot
Endemic to East Africa, primarily found in Kenya, Tanzania, and Somalia, inhabiting dry savannas, acacia thornbush, and semi-desert areas.
How to spot
Look for its pale sandy body, dark tail and wings, and particularly its bright pale (often whitish) eyes. Scan dry, open habitats with scattered bushes.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen foraging on the ground or in low bushes. Can be observed year-round.
