Call of the Blackish Cuckoo-Shrike

[Romy Ocon]

Here's a 10-second clip - the video is not good but the audio is quite decent and the longish call of the endemic Blackish Cuckoo-Shrike can be heard pretty well.

Thanks, Edu. I was about to delete that clip right after capture, but kept it because the call of this bird is not recorded very often.
