| Remarks : | This endemic bird [subspecies] was very tame and approachable. It was perched about 5 feet above ground beside a dirt track in the forest on the island. I have only seen only one pair during my stay there and believe it is not very common. The photo shows a female with a ring round its leg. - DL |
