Media notes
Pair of birds moving about on top of the dividing wall. I believe the call is an alarm or agitation type call. At about 40 seconds, you can hear loud scratching type sounds. It seemed as if one bird was digging or scratching. The roof and wall are corrugated tin, giving the sound a slightly metallic quality.
Observation details
The pair were initially moving around on top of a dividing wall where it meets the rafters of the building. When I approached too close, they flew towards the other end of the building. Later, they flew by while I was outside.
