Sultan Tit – calls

“Was delighted to meet up again with the less commonly seen Sultant Tit (Melanochlora sultanea flavocristata).

“This bird was very vocal while feeding on animal prey (e.g. exploring cocoons in curled leaves). I suspect it is looking for a mate.

“This is a new Sultan Tit to the patch as the earlier one I had been watching was an adult male. This one is a female (or immature male – appreciate opinions).

“A recording of the calls (above) and sonogram/waveform (below).”
