Media notes

Two-three babblers at face-level in a thick bush alongside a road. They were hopping around inside the bush, not on the ground. I could not perceive any field marks other than the whitish, pale-yellow eye. They were very quiet, so the sound is perhaps difficult to hear on the recording despite the microphone being one meter away from the birds or closer. The voice announcement at the end is louder than I intended; apologies for that.

Observation details

In a bush, recorded sound. Eye noticeably white.
