Species we have lost over the last quarter of a century

I missed the Picathartes out because there were already several photos in the Gallery

The rest of this batch of scans for this thread are striped squirrel (Regent's Park), Cayenne wood rail (Birdworld) and probably a rusty-margined guan (Bristol) - actually I not certain about the identity of this specimen, so I can't be sure if it falls within the 25 year rule and it is not mentioned on Zootierliste. Comments are welcome.

Filled in some gaps with pictures from my trip to Indonesia in July; Javan warty pig, small minivet and pied fantail are now also present in the gallery.
Sadly the pictures aren't of great quality.

That is true, but if they weren't in the gallery at all...

 

Resuming my posts of newly scanned images from my collection.

I still have a few more to come.

 

Just uploaded 2 "missing"species in the Netherlands - other Gallery which I was able to photograph today at the show of the Dutch Softbill Society. The birds are in the hands of privat keepers but because there are no photos of them in the Gallery ( at least not from European collections in the case of the Yellow-cheeked tit ) I've uploaded them :

And another "lost" species from which I could take some pictures at the Dutch Softbill Society show yesterday. Photos in the Gallery were already from Thai and Canadian collections but none from Europe. The new photos are placed in the Netherlands - other Gallery :

Just uploaded another picture of a "lost"species in the Netherlands - other Gallery. One photo of a captive bird in Japan was already there but now we also have a European picture of it but still not from a public collection : Japanese robin.

A species not mentioned before as being "lost" could be the Blue-billed ( or Gray's ) malimbe ( Malimbicus nitens ). On Zootierliste its mentioned that the species had been not seen and not being signed in 2011 at Zoo Augsburg - Germany - suggesting that it had been so on previous visits ( ? ).
The only other collection having kept the species in Europe was the London Zoo which kept it from 1948 till 1955 at it bred there in 1952 but Zootierliste is not sure if the young was / were raised succesfully ( maybe any ZooChatter with more info ? ).
On the Show of the Dutch Softbill Society I saw this species for sale and was able to take some pictures of it ( see Netherlands - other Gallery https://www.zoochat.com/community/d...ae97351c9d5aedf5105863f678f58d.jpg?1478629175 ). Can't remember having seen this species before so prop. a lifer for me !

 

Not a great photo, but here's a shot of Prague's Black-eared Catbirds in their indoor housing in 2012.

There are not a lot of white-eared catbirds
in European collections and only Burgers'
breeds them these days. But with the old
mangrove hall (where they bred) gone, this
species has an uncertain future in zoos.

 

The White-eared catbirds are now living in the Bush at Arnhem and I hope they will do it in this much larger enclosure as good ( or even better ) as they did in the old Mangrove-hall !

 

Just posted my last scans for 2016.

Species relevant to this thread include the splendid fairy wren (Regent's Park, 1980)


Jerdon's imperial pigeon (Regent's Park, 1979)


A second image of the Nduk eagle owl (Regent's Park 1974)


Cuis (Regent's Park 1974) - still held at one European zoo according to ZTL


Finally a saddleback tamarin (Jersey 1983). I think it's Saguinus illigeri, but please correct me if that's wrong.


I'm not sure how many more goodies in my slide files next year
