Miombo Blue-eared Starling (Lesser Blue-eared Starling): Lamprotornis elisabeth (Lamprotornis chloropterus)
It is found in the mixed arid (broadleaved) and Mopane woodlands adjacent to the rivers, and it is more likely to form large locks than the other two glossy starlings here, the Cape Glossy Starling (Glossy Starling) L. nitens and the Greater Blue-eared Starling. Its reporting rate is 5% in these areas and its area of occupancy is 2,800 km2, of which only 4% occurs in protected areas of Mudumu National Park.
