Observation details
2 pairs interacting. 1 pair ganging up on 1 individual of 2nd pair, piping and rushing at it with head down then, when close by, jumping up in the air with wings spread, before land and continuing to call. The fourth bird remained aside, initially silent and large motionless while all this was going on. Later joined the group at which time all four birds were circling each other, heads down, piping. Two pied-phase birds, one in each pair. Appeared to be a territorial boundary dispute.
