New Bird for Ngorongoro CA

Black-winged Pratincole, with wings raised

Dear All
Please find   photographs showing one of the two Black-winged Pratincoles Glareola nordmanni  found recently by (James Wolstencroft, Consult Nature, Arusha)  at Hippo pools Ngorongoro Crater 02.02.2006.
 
The birds were a bit distant for my 300mm lens but shot clearly show the diagnostic all dark under-wing first noted by JW when the birds were flushed by passing Marsh Harrier.
 



The bird standing behind is a Collared, the second Black-winged stayed frustratingly hidden behind a Hippo rut.
 
An exciting bonus to a fantstic days birding!
 
Martin Goodey.
