Remarks

» On 25 Marche 2023 (date of this photo), 4+ birds were found near Libreville, at 00°31’10”N 09°25’25”E, which seems to be the Northermost record for Gabon and Africa. To be noted that, on 29 September 2022, a flock of 7-8 birds was found near Owendo (00°18’06”N 09°31’00”E), harbour of Libreville. Both observations are outside the known distribution range of the species.
