Subject: Seeking wild populations of Superb Starlings in Kenya

Hi Birders,

 

I hope you are all having a great time watching birds. I am in the process of undertaking a short-term (3 yrs) study on the annual cycle of parasitism in Superb Starling and needs a truly wild population(s). By this I mean one with little or no influence and contacts with human sites where they are likely to depended on the opportune food wastes for survival amidst foraging in the wild, it also limits their dispersal as well.

 

I am therefore requesting for suggestions of some places with an access to catered accomondation. Some places in Laikipia, Thika, Ukambani, Nakuru, Gilgil, Naivasha, Nanyuki etc would be ideal.

 

Thanking you all in advance,
