Gunnar - it's described in the latest issue of the Oriental Bird Club's
journal, Forktail, which was published this week.
Forktail 20 (2004): 1-7
Calayan Rail Gallirallus calayanensis.
Copies will soon be appearing through OBC members' doormats - or save
the OBC some postage costs and pick your copy up at the British Birdfair
this coming Friday to Sunday if you can.
Cheers
