Dear All -
 
The day before yesterday in the evening, whilst walking in the Silole Sanctuary (southern border of Nbi Nat Park), I saw a single plover-like bird with very distinctive markings & pink legs which Zimmerman et al tells me is a Violet-Tipped Courser....a first sighting for me.
 
Presumably it is unusual to see this sp. in NNP though the book tells me there are previous records?
 
Best, Will Knocker
