| A flock of about fifty, though hard to be accurate as they were flying above the forest, and there were probably more. Another flock of about 20 followed a few minutes later, all drifting west. Flying quite high and constantly calling a 'chak' or 'chap', presumably their contact call. Dark under, though reddish chestnut colour not seen well as they were somewhat silhouetted. Hard to say if there were any Masked among them. Call wrong for Dusky. |
