Cape Verde Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea bournei) is endemic to Santiago Island. It is a highly endangered subspecies, which breeds in the crown of big trees in very few localities. The best site to see the species is the Barragem de Poilao, a big dam with good conditions for aquatic birds. Perhaps in the near future this taxon will be considered a full species, Ardea bournei. |

Thanks, Diedert.
I have more images of some "specialities" from the Cape Verdes, which I'll upload in a few days.
Best regards.

Thanks for the picture!
As we follow the Dutch Birding list & taxonomy here, can you change the name into Bourne's Heron / Kaapverdische Purperreiger (Ardea bournei)? Since the publication of BOU Checklist 13 on Cape Verde Islands by Hazevoet in 1995, this taxon is treated as a species.

Hi.
Thanks for your proposal, Arnoud, but I don't know how I can change the name in the photo in question. I agree with this change.
Best regards.
