TY - JOUR A1 - Robb, Magnus A1 - Pop, René T1 - An aberrantly coloured buzzard Buteo bannermani on Santo Antão, Cape Verde Islands, in November 2012 : with notes on the past and present status of the species T2 - Zoologia Caboverdiana = Revista da Sociedade Cabo Veriana de Zoologia N2 - On 30 November 2012, we observed a white presumed Cape Verde buzzard Buteo bannermani Swann, 1919 in the northern mountains of Santo Antão, Cape Verde Islands. The bird was defending a territory on the west side of the road between Corda and Vila da Ribeira Grande. Judging from the amount of time it spent in aerial display, it probably concerned a male. RP managed to make a series of photos, including some of the bird perched at a distance of ca. 60 m (Fig. 1 & 2). In these it was possible to confirm that the eyes were dark and neither pale nor reddish, identifying the bird as an adult and excluding the possibility of an albino. Its apparent mate was a bird of normal appearance.
