Hartert's would be a first for Thailand, but I have no idea about the distribution of Ogilvie-Grant's.The bird was doing "the nuthatch thing" in terms of its forging technique,and did not vocalise whilst I watched it. It did take some interest in a tape I played of Hartert's, but did not call in response.Any thoughts offered by those with more experience would be very gratefully received.Thanks,Dave</blockquote>
