Media notes
Recorded at 0804. Single grunts from a male in non-breeding plumage, initially sitting atop a small metal roof. Longer, more foreboding grunts are then heard from another male in non-breeding plumage foraging approx seven metres away in the leaf litter. It took some minutes to vacate his perch, clambering up and back over the iron, appearing undecided on the best direction to exit and always under the watchful eye of the male below. When he finally departs (wingbeats at 05:43), he is chased frantically uphill and flies into a tree branch (see photograph ML191785071) with the other male and now a female returning to forage nearby.
