Media notes
Recorded at 1302. Returned to site after council maintenance had finished to capture begging calls from a juvenile while swimming near an adult, with excited 'chirrups' upon being fed morsels. At 0:39, the adult turns on the juvenile, pecking at the back of its neck and sending it underwater. It squeals with a further attack at 1:10 and is fully under water until surfacing at 1:16 with a mournful cry. Shortly after, the juvenile made its way to the bank and rested. Tried to position the mic between some rocks to deflect the waterfall sound, but seemed to reverberate instead; bit of a heavy HP filter.
