Spotted
The Ring-necked Starling is a unique African starling, notable for the distinct white band or 'ring' around its neck, contrasting with its otherwise dark, glossy plumage. It is a striking forest-dwelling bird.
Where to spot
Found in specific forest patches of central Africa, including parts of Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea, preferring primary and secondary rainforests.
How to spot
Look for its dark body and unmistakable white neck ring. It can be elusive in dense forest, so listen for its soft calls and scan mid-story and sub-canopy vegetation.
When to spot
Best sought during the early morning or late afternoon when birds are most active. They are resident and can be found year-round.

Unlike many starlings that gather in large flocks, the Ring-necked Starling is often observed solitarily or in small family groups, foraging quietly in the forest understory.
