Continuing updating database records for @World_Museum🌏 bird type specimens and reached this beautiful nightjar. Sadly the species is now Critically Endangered https://t.co/0TKxPYoub4. The type was apparently captured when it flew into the bedroom of a house near Nouméa in 1880.
I've been updating Wikipedia species pages with details of important & type specimens @World_Museum. Its nice when I find info about the specimens is already there, such as the types of the Himalayan Quail which were painted by both Edward Lear, for the description, & John Gould
