Superb Starling (Lamprotornis superbus) - 3 July 2013. Tarangire National Park, Manyara Region, Tanzania.



This spectacular species was common in a variety of habitats throughout our visit to Northern Tanzania. We usually saw them in small groups foraging on the ground flashing their bright iridescent colors. This species was formerly included in the genus Spreo but moved to Lamprotornis (glossy starlings) in Clements 4th edition.

Digiscoped with Panasonic DMC-LX5 | Nikon FieldScope III | 30XWA | hand-held (no adapter).
