A paradise for nature lovers, bird watchers from across the globe are travelling to our tiny island to catch a glimpse of the elusive Bali Starling (Bali Myna). Recently saved from the brink of extinction thanks to conservation efforts, this striking bird now has two Bali strongholds; in Nusa Penida and West Bali National Park. What makes this recovery so remarkable is the role local community played in reintroducing the bird to its natural habitat. As recently as 2015 there were just 57 known Bali Starlings in West Bali National Park however the latest figures now indicate over 450 birds in the area. Endemic to Bali, this stunning bird is stark white with black tipped wings and turquoise blue around the eyes. Talk to our team on the Tour Desk at Bali Garden Beach Resort to arrange a tour of West Bali National Park during your next visit and be sure to take a pic of this incredible local specimen should you manage to spot one!
