Media notes
Please excuse the profanity, opted after much consideration to keep the original audio just to preserve how excited Simone, Simon and I were to be watching what we were watching. No playback used, only passive observation and if there was any question as to whether we were disturbing them... I mean watch the end of the video haha. More "professional" version where we don't "constantly swear" available where I stripped audio and used b roll ambient audio recorded at the site available. 0:03-0:10 - Female calling (barely audible through internal thermal mic 0:43 - Male flies in and lands out of frame 1:26 - Female ruffles feathers 2:00 - I totally call it 2:18 - Female defecates (we did not attempt to find it) 2:33 - My stomach growls; it is briefly mistaken for a Pygmy Owl 3:16 - Female wing stretch 3:31 - Male flies in and the pair copulate 3:39 - Male flies off
