Spotted
A plain, dull brown starling endemic to the high-altitude forests of Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu. It is a shy and infrequently seen species.
Where to spot
High-altitude cloud forests on the island of Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu.
How to spot
Look for a dull-colored starling in the montane forest canopy. Its inconspicuous plumage and habit of staying within the dense canopy make it challenging to spot.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best sought with patience in its specialized montane habitat.
The Mountain Starling is one of the few Aplonis species that is primarily confined to high montane habitats, making it ecologically distinct from its more widespread lowland relatives.
