| Background |
|---|
| Dates of sighting are imprecise. Wang & Hails (2007) provides no citation nor details for this record except that it was seen at Lorong Halus in 1999. This sighting is not discussed in the 1999 YahooGroup either. However see background for Hen Harrier record Record Number 498 where more details are provided. Given the lack of details, we reject this record on the basis that the Hen Harrier, unless a full adult male, can be very easily misidenfitied from the other local Harriers. |
| Verdict | Not accepted (Unverifiable) |
