From the reports of former naturalists the Starling appears 

 to be a Bird of Passage to the Canaries, and in certain islands 

 of the group a Winter Visitor in small numbers. 



I have never seen the bird alive myself, though I have 

 spent many months in the island of Gran Canaria and paid 

 visits to most of the other islands.
