Media notes
Wild bird with broken wing, taken into captivity. See record notes. 2nd record of species for Eritrea.
Observation details
Confiscated from a boy at a local school, this individual had a broken wing, and had to be put down. Confirmed as B. c. dillonii. Originally suspected to be the first record for Eritrea, while researching the finding, I subsequently found a specimen at the UK NHM, Tring from Senafe, wrongly labelled as 'Ethiopia', making this the second record. Reported in the following paper: First records of eight bird species for Eritrea Bulletin: ABC Bulletin 17.1 March 2010 p 66-70 Author(s): Anderson, J.
