Media notes
Four cuts from an adult bird displaying in rocky tundra. The first cut starts out with the bird on the ground, giving "Cricket Song" while perched on a large rock. It then takes to the air and gives a prolonged flight display dominated by Rhythmically Repeated Calls, punctuated with short songs, before returning to a different large rock and returning to giving Cricket Song. The second cut is of the bird giving "Bleat" calls while moving on the ground, with frequent wing-lift displays. It ends with a single Flight Song as it flew to a different part of its territory. The third cut is a short one of Bleat calls, though the first strophe is longer than typical. It also ends in a single Flight song as the bird flies off. The final cut is of the bird giving single note calls as it flushes repeatedly in front of me and flies a short distance, mixed with a couple of Bleat calls once it returns to the ground.
