Observation details
2 birds calling either side of the boardwalk. One bird (which i managed to see) was making the most often heard 'gogogok' call and the other (hidden bird) responded with a call somewhat like a sharp exhalation of breath or a bass cymbal being struck. This continued for some time until the first bird made the less-often heard loud 'girrrrrr' call swiftly followed by the same call from the second bird (but at a higher pitch) - after that was silence. The birds may have met under the boardwalk but I couldn't track them. Perhaps this is a male-female encounter ? The sudden changes in volume in the recording are from me turning the microphone through 180 degrees to focus on each bird's call.
