Cape Glossy Starling
(Lamprotornis nitens)

This section is still under construction! Although mostly functional, there is still plenty of information missing and many images are waiting to be added. We are working as quickly as we can...
The Cape Glossy Starling plumage has more of a blue sheen than the green of other similar overlapping species and lacks the darker ear coverts. The eyes are orange-yellow.
Sexes are alike but the male is slightly larger than the female.
Juveniles have duller plumage and yellow eyes.
It has a lengthy warbling song.
