| Ashy Tit - Melaniparus cinerascens | Peter Boesman | 2013-02-03 | Polokwane Game Reserve, Polokwane, Limpopo, Limpopo Province (South Africa) | call - [also] [sono] | 280439 xeno-canto.org |
| Ashy Tit - Melaniparus cinerascens | Tony Archer | 2019-09-05 | Klerksdorp, Southern DC, North West, Klerksdorp (South Africa) (1400 m) | call - Ashy Tit making what I assume is warning call. My interest is towards end of clip at 7 seconds. The loud, almost screech, reminds me of call made by our caged Ring-necked Parakeets? Could anyone suggest a different bird with that call? bird-seen:yes playback-used:no
