Media notes
Taveuni Silktail wing fluttering, possibly a distraction display, Des Veoux Peak, Taveuni, Fiji 07/10/18
Observation details
Two pairs at separate places along the track to the small crater lake. One bird from each pair was on the ground a few metres ahead of us on the track. One of the birds on the track rapidly fluttered its wings as we stood and observed it, possibly a distraction display. At least one bird in this pair repeatedly called. The other bird in each pair was low in the forest nearby. They were quite confiding and Tony said one of the birds was "leading us along the track".
