| Wang & Hails (2007) cites SINAV 11:4 but this sighting is not in the cited literature (SINAV 11:4 deals with the year 1997). Lim (2009) lists no ciitation but mentions that the bird was seen by four people. As of 5 April 2021, the NSS website only has SINAV 9:1. Other volumes of SINAV 9 are not uploaded - it is therefore unclear if this sighting was reported in other volumes of SINAV 9. The original rare bird report for this sighting has been digitised. |
