Violet-backed Starling: Chimpanzee Forest Lodge, Kibale National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — I often think that if our invasive Starling was as attractive as most of the African Starlings, they would get a lot more respect. (Though they would still be invasive.) This is the Violet-backed Starling, which can be seen throughout East Africa, except for northern Kenya. It is the smallest African Starling, often migratory or nomadic, and is mostly found along forest edges and in woodland, including riparian corridors. This was my first, and so far, only sighting. 🙂 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos.
