TWO DIFFERENT CALLS ARE GIVEN BY ONE BIRD WHICH MYLES SAW CALLING. MYLES WHISTLED A DESCRIPTIONOF THE CALL AT THE END WHICH ENABLES ONE TO ISOLATE THE CALL OF THE TIT WHICH IS CLEAR IF DISTANT. DUNDORI IS UNDER EXTENSIVE CULTIVATION BOTH AS FARMLAND AND AS A 'FORESTORY' I.E. MONO-SPECIFIC STANDS OF SOFTWOOD TIMBER. Sex: 1 UNKNOWN.
