[The Spot-winged Bush-Shrike was plentiful throughout the Eturi Forest, and a 

 few were seen in the Mpanga Forest, east of Ruwenzori. It frequented both the 

 undergrowth and the tree-tops. The only sound I ever identified as belonging to this 

 bird was a loud, harsh, chattering note. — B. B. W.~\
