Spotless starlings are mainly found in southern Central Europe, with their largest range in Spain and Portugal. They are also found along the northwest coast of Africa and on islands such as Sardinia and Sicily.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"325\" data-end=\"564\">The common starling, by contrast, has a much larger distribution. Although it is primarily native to the Northern Hemisphere, it has also been introduced to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina, where it is now widespread.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"566\" data-end=\"929\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Interestingly, more spotless starlings are observed on the Iberian Peninsula than common starlings. According to iNaturalist, there are currently over 8,500 observations of spotless starlings in Spain and just over 3,000 in Portugal. In comparison, there are more than 2,300 observations of common starlings in Spain and about 600 in Portugal (as of March 2026).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div
