Media notes

First 2 clips in sequence are single harsh calls from a single bird which entered the yard first. Later long sequence is this bird interacting with 2 additional adults, including duets. Not sure if this is a territorial conflict or if all 3 birds are somehow allied. Interaction took place within 5 metres of calling Fiscal Flycatchers, etc., though the boubous did not seem to be intentionally interacting with other species.
