Thank your John. Yes they also have a large array of calls and can mimic other birds. I have a video of this bird. I'll try to add it soon.
Hi Brian38,
Great photos, especially the first one. I can imagine the Yellow-breasted chat has a loud call. Isn't it amazing that some birds appear to use a technique, similar to that of a Howler Monkey, to make their call more powerful.
