Chris
I was going to ask for further details - but the record was already published
on line before I got a chance.
I have amended the record on Eremaea to read 'possible' and added the following
editorial comments:
[Ed. Note: a fleeting glimpse of this critically endangered sub-species has to
be considered possible unless photographs exist to separate it from other
confusions species such as Little Lorikeet and other species which may have
escaped from captivity. To be accepted a full submission should be made to the
relevant rarity committees.]
I agree with your comments but have an open mind as the sub-species may still
exist. Whether Brendan saw the bird well enough to be sure it was this species
and this sub-species - time will tell.
