  They're very funny little birds. They sing constantly but are usually quite shy. I could hear this one singing some distance away and played a burst of playback, but then got distracted by another bird. Fortunately, the place I was in had quite open undergrowth, so when I heard him singing again and it sounded like he was coming closer to investigate, I decided to just sit down and wait. This little fellow ended up walking to within 2 meters of me and spent a good long while in the area, giving me by far the best views I've ever had of the species! Posted 3 years ago
