Titel: First record of Tanzania ?
Beskrivelse:
I discovered the bird on photo and the record is now confirmed by the leading ornithologist in Tanzania: Neil Baker.
He says, it is the first photodocumented record for Tanzania and prhaps even the first record for Tanzania ?
There is some doubt about earlier claims in the country.
Saunders's Tern is commen in Tanzania.
According to Chandler and Wilds (1994) many of the features supposedly distinguishing Saunders's from Little intergrade with characters of that species. Areas for possible confusion do exist! Many intermediates occur and only those with a combination of all characters can be can be identified with certainty in the field - and only in adult summer plumage. Conclusive identification in winter and immature plumages is almost impossible in the field.
