Field-notes of Mr. von Berchtold: »Dieser scheue Vogel 

 scheint nur dichtes üfergebüsch, durchmischt mit hoher 

 Grasvegetation, namentlich aber die dichten Bestande der 

 Elettaria speciosa zu lieben. Indessen kaun man seine An- 

 wesenheit fast immer constatiren, da er mit Ausnahme der 

 heissen Mittagszeit beinahe den ganzen Tag ein in kurzen 

 Zwischenraumen wiederholtes »fih, fill" horen lasst". — 

 Ich habe im Buschwald von Poelau bei diesem Vogel einen 

 hübscheu Gesang beobachtet (Büttik.).
