“A small group of Large Woodshrikes (Tephrodornis gularis fretensis) foraging together – three or four (above left). Largely animal prey (insects) (above right). Lots of calls made between the group. I heard a variety but was able to record only the louder, common call. The other common call was a scratch ‘scolding-like’ noise.
“An audio recording of the ‘classical’ calls is attached. As usual cleaned up to remove ambient noises and amplified. Could be mistaken for that of a more musical bird, like a bulbul, HERE.
“Red Data Status: Near Threatened (locally, see DR Wells 2007).”
