The White-shouldered Starling Sturnia sinensis, a species commonly found in East Asia and known to winter in Southeast Asia, had not been previously recorded in Indonesias avifaunal list. On 26 September 2023, an unusual starling was spotted among a flock of Daurian Starlings Agropsar sturninus near a Buddhist vihara in Tanjungpinang, Bintan Island, Riau Islands Province, Sumatra. The following day, the bird was photographed and documented for closer examination. It was ultimately identified as Sturnia sinensis. This record represents a significant range expansion for the species into Indonesian territory, emphasizing the dynamic nature of avian migration and the critical need for ongoing monitoring to capture such unexpected findings.

The observation of Sturnia sinensis on Bintan Island represents a significant range expansion for the species into Indonesian territory.This finding contributes to a growing number of new distribution records for migrant birds in Indonesia, likely due to increased birding interest and improved observation tools.Continued surveys focused on migratory passerines are essential to close knowledge gaps and improve understanding of their status in Indonesia.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk memahami pola migrasi dan penggunaan habitat dari S. sinensis di Indonesia, termasuk identifikasi lokasi-lokasi penting lainnya di Kepulauan Riau dan wilayah sekitarnya. Studi genetik dapat dilakukan untuk menentukan asal populasi S. sinensis yang ditemukan di Indonesia dan hubungannya dengan populasi di wilayah lain, seperti Semenanjung Malaysia dan Singapura. Selain itu, penting untuk melakukan pemantauan jangka panjang terhadap populasi burung migran di Indonesia, termasuk S. sinensis, untuk mengidentifikasi tren perubahan populasi dan dampak perubahan iklim terhadap migrasi burung, serta menginformasikan strategi konservasi yang efektif.
