Media notes
There was a male Southern Brow Kiwi running around, searching for a female who was one the other side of the reserve fence. while trying to video the female, I recorded her making this call. Our guide indicated he had never seen or heard this call so close in person and noted that it was possibly a defensive call by the female or a courtship call. When calling, her head would raise up between each peak in her song. She made this noise 4 times and then moved on.
