| Identification |
|---|
| Heard the high-pitched constant zitting call not too far from the trail in the forest. Unable to locate the bird and proceeded to record the call. |
| Habitat/behaviour |
|---|
| Bird was not seen but the call remained for at least 5 minutes in the forest. |
| Viewing conditions |
|---|
| Poor viewing conditions as the forest was dimly-lit in the undergrowth. |
| Observer's experience |
|---|
| Have heard it a couple of times in Singapore. However, a record of the call is a must as it cannot be distinguished safely out in the field by relying solely on its appearance. |
| Observer's experience w/similar species |
|---|
| Have recorded the Pale-legged once in Singapore. Sounded and appears nearly the same as this Sakhalin. |
