Observation details
Adult male bird collected at Cooli Bazar near Thallassery, Kannur Dist. C. Sasikumar, Madhuraj Mathrubhumi and myself were trying to release the bird into the sea. The bird was surviving with C. Sasikumar for the past several days. The bird tried to flap its wings and seemed to be healthy to take to flight but it lost energy mid way and fell into the waves. We recovered it from the water and tried let it dry itself under the shine. As the bird gained little improvement the attempt was aborted and the bird was taken back to Sasikumar's house. C. Sasikumar, Birds of Kerala, Status and Distribution, DC books, Kottayam, 2011, 137-138.
