Media notes
At the beginning of a cut there are two birds displaying, where the would stand up straighter than normal while calling. Then one flies off and the other gives the constant piping calls. Towards the end of the first part of the cut the second bird flies and performs a flight display, in which it flew about 10m off the ground with more fluttery than usual wingbeats. After the one second silence, the first series of piping calls are being given by the same bird that gave the flight display earlier. The second bird of that pair flies in at the end of this cut and both given their ground display where they stand up very straight while calling.
