Media notes
A bird perched on its nest. Published in HBW Volume 12 on page 121. Original HBW caption: The Golden-fronted Fulvetta is a restrictedrange species inhabiting the mossy, rain-soaked, mid-montane forests of Sichuan and Guangxi, China. Here, it builds a ball-shaped nest with an outer layer of green moss, presumably as camouflage. The inner layers and lining of the nest are constructed from the dry dead leaves of bamboo, along with other plant fibres. This structure is fitted snugly and inconspicuously amongst moss or creepers low down on tree trunks, sloping banks or in clumps of ferns or orchids. The scant information available suggests that a clutch of around 4 eggs is laid, and the chicks fed by both adults of a pair. IBC scientific name: Schoeniparus variegaticeps. Elevation: 2733 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
