Hey, thanks--another bird wird! This was apparently a bird that nested at Filfla (Malta) but nowhere else (that anyone knows about). I don't think it exists anymore. :-(

"'Will you look at that bird, almost directly ahead, at some thirty-five degrees of elevation? I believe it to be a hangi. They are said to be peculiar to this island.'"
