Waller's Starling is a relatively small and dark starling with a distinctive glossy appearance, typically found in high-altitude forests of East Africa.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane forests of East Africa, found in scattered populations in countries like Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for its dark, glossy plumage. Listen for its soft, whistled calls, which are relatively quiet. Often seen in small groups high in the canopy of montane trees, making it challenging to spot.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during the day, particularly when feeding on fruiting trees, which can draw them into view.
