Media notes
A bird collecting nesting material on the ground. Published in HBW Volume 12 on page 118. Original HBW caption: As a general rule, both sexes of babblers contribute to parental duties such as nestbuilding, incubating eggs, and rearing the brood. Most babbler nests are cup-shaped, but many are domed, especially in those species nesting close to the ground. Thus, the Spot-breasted Scimitarbabbler, like most other Pomatorhinus species, builds a loose dome with a broad side-entrance. The structure consists of coarse plant fibres such as grasses, dry ferns and leaves. It is placed on the ground, or low in a dense bush, and lined with fine grass and rootlets. IBC scientific name: Erythrogenys gravivox odica. Elevation: 2360 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
