These birds were seen on 31st July and 1st August 2006 in the Tari Valley. They are very skulky and always kept in thick cover. I managed to get some recordings of their contact calls as I followed them through the forest. Over the two days I watched them for 30 mins. Some people tick them of having seen them in fruiting bushes, these are probably Berrypeckers as I find it hard to believe that they venture that high. Real sightings are very scarce.
