Media notes
Flushed a female foraging at the roadside into the bushes and this male started singing from the bushes near where the female entered. The sound at the end is the female scampering across the road.
Observation details
Walking from Pakihi Walk parking area towards Okarito town. One individual seen briefly along the roadside before the "Deep Creek" sign. A couple hundred meters after the sign, observed a female, who quickly ran into the forest at the road side, after which a male starting calling loudly from the forest. The female then started making grunting noises. Both birds then came back out of the forest, and I had close up views of both birds foraging and calling.
