Observation details
Pair (both calls). They stayed hanging out on a pool just downstream of the hut for several hours - they were still there when I left at 10:30am - so I had lots of opportunities to photograph them as the day brightened and the light improved. The recordings and the first four photos are from the checklist period. The remaining photos are from later in the morning - between 9:00 and 10:05am.
