  • ... that the white-eared night heron (pictured) had only been recorded in about 20 localities in 2001, but was discovered in over 30 localities from 2001 to 2011? Sources: "By 2001, the species was known from c.20 localities, but since then extensive survey effort and increased awareness have resulted in records from more than 30 new localities (He Fenqi et al. 2011)." [1] and "but being highly sparse, separated, or fragmented of its appearance, with some 20 localities at county level, only (see those numeral marks on the sketch map); ... Whilst, on the contrary, more than 30 new localities of the bird got reported during the last 10 years with five more provinces," [2]
    • ALT1:... that the white-eared night heron (pictured) seems to breed earlier in Vietnam than in China? Source: ", tallies with what little is known of breeding from China, although breeding dates in Vietnam appear about a month earlier." [3]

Thank you for a solid article on good sources. Unfortunately, I can't access the source for the original hook, which I like better, but accept it AGF as the offline sources. What do you think of mentioning China and/or Vietnam? And about the image? If there's an article about the red-link park, you can link via {{ill}}. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:02, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
I added a link to the Chinese article about the park. The source for the hook is not offline. The image in the article is an illustration and not a photograph, so I do not want to use it. Gulumeemee (talk) 00:47, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
I can see the source now fine, yesterday I received a 404 message. - I added the image, - why not an illustration? It's attractive ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:52, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
