Media notes
This recording is made form the nesting site of the same bird. We didn't know that the bird was nesting in the area. Since the bird hovered above us making calls frantically, we thought there could be nest. We found the nesting site accidentally. There were two eggs on bare rock on which the bird brooded a little later as we took shelter under a tree quite at a distance. To our surprise, we saw a 'woolen' object moving near the bird. We found that it was its chick. When the bird found that we move a bit close, it went up air and made alarm calls again which made the little chick take cover under a small leaf. This recording is made on that moment. You can listen to the chick's calls in-between. Without disturbing the family further, we left the scene.
