Superb Starling Lamprotornis superbus
Ethiopia
January 2014
When one is only accustomed to seeing Common Starling Sturnus vulgaris on a regular basis, African starlings are a phenomenal experience. Superb Starling was common, at times abundant, on our journey through Ethiopia, with the Horn of Africa comprising the largest area of its range. It became a very familiar species, but never failed to elicit appreciative looks.
