Dear James, 

Thank you for your Magpie Starling record. I used to see them frequently at Mpala in early 2000 during the months of March to July. They were usually in small flocks of 5-10 individuals. 

Regards, 

Wamiti.

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
