The newspappers this morning reported about a supposed sighting of an adult white-eared night heron on Southwest Hainan, no specific locality mentioned but a group of experienced birders was those that has made the report, which is the odds that it really was an white-eared? I mean Hainan do after all harbour at least 3 kinds of night-heron so a missidentification is possible and the species havent been reported from this island since the late 1960 + the nature destruction has been very intensive here, so what do everyone think, is it possible that the white-eared night heron survive on Hainan, after all alarms about its supposed extinction here?
