Yesterday afternoon (24-12) when I was walking along the Blue Walk at TPK, I suddenly saw a shadow moving under the slope. When I tried to find out the species of the bird through my binocular, I was surprised to see a greater necklaced laughingthrush (I reckoned from its face pattern) stood up & drummed eagerly on the ground with its bill like a woodpecker for a couple of times. Then it disappeared in the shrub together with another one nearby. Can someone tell me if this is a typical behaviour of the bird? Sorry for the poor quality of the photo attached.
Thank you & merry X'mas!
昨天下午(24-12)在大埔滘藍路看見有一黑影在斜坡下活動,從望遠鏡發現一黑領噪鶥(從它的臉上圖案判斷)站高起來用它的喙大力啄地,連續數下,跟著與另 一同伴消失於草叢中。未知這行為是否典型, 抱歉照片質素很差 。
多謝解答,並祝聖誕快樂。

It is the typical behaviour of laughingthrush. They search for insect in ground level.

I think the laughingthrush was drumming to the fruit on the ground. I once saw this in Tai Po Kau.
