Dispersal and Site Fidelity
In Bunduki Forest (a mid-altitude plantation of non-native tree species in Uluguru Mountains), mist-net capture rates of several montane species believed to move seasonally to lower elevation was higher during the cooler dry season, whereas capture rates of African Tailorbird were similar between the hot, wet season (February) and the cooler dry season (July) suggesting high site fidelity (46).
