Committee's view
Background
Dates of sighting are imprecise, reportedly seen in 1984 based on Lim (2009). Lim (2009) mentions that three birds were seen in the Seletar Catchment, citing "Hails (1987)" but no such document is included in the reference. In the reference list of Lim (2009), there is only one citation authored by Hails in 1987, that happens to be the same Hails (1987) in our reference list. This particular document however does not have any records from 1984. It is unclear what this information is and where is came from.
Verdict Not accepted (Unverifiable)
