Picture
Photo copyright Rui Oliveira. This immature Allen's Gallinule was picked up at Porto Judeu, Terceira in December and kept for about two weeks inside a cage. This presumably accounts for the the poor feather condition. It was released at Paul da Praia on 4th January 2012 and has not been seen subsequently. The sixth record for the Azores and the first since 1973.
