Remarks

» I sighted birds at this site each year from 2013 to 2015, solely in January and February. This juvenile was accompanied by an adult in breeding plumage; while the nesting season is March to May, this suggests that Assouinde (South-East of Ivorian coast, near the Ghanaian border) could be a new Ivorian breeding locality for Collared Pratincole.
