Subject: Magpie Starling in Laikipia

I had a Magpie Starling at our bird bath in Laikipia.  We have seen this species only a few times before on Tumaren but run into them at lower altitudes not far to our east.  I wonder if they have been seen in many other places in Laikipia. Mpala ?

With regards to other hot country starlings we consistently each year we get for a short period, Golden-breasted Starlings and Fischers Starling flocks. They typically arrive when it is very dry.

Cheers, Jamie
