Why it matters
The Long-tailed Glossy Starling is native to the open woodlands and savannas of sub-Saharan Africa, where it is easily identified by its exceptionally long, graduated tail and iridescent, metallic plumage. Its unique appearance, characterized by that striking tail and sharply pointed wings, makes it a favored subject for ornithological studies and nature photography.
