Observation details
Two flew from the back of a small pine by the trail as I walked past and landed in another pine 20m away in full view but only remained for around 10 seconds, then away over the treetops and lost to view. I then played pre-recoded N20 excitement calls. After a couple of minutes both birds returned and landed in the top of a pine c. 30 m away where they remained for about five minutes. The male perched on the uppermost sprig and occasionally sang, the female remained below and obscured. Initially focused on photos, then got the sound kit ready and they flew off, not to return. Only calls heard appeared identical to N20 excitement.
