Media notes

Hard to get close to them for recording, lots of flowing water noise as well. Trimmed, minimal high pass filter 250Hz applied, normalised to -3dB.

Observation details

Following each other and foraging around the stream flowing from the swimming hole to the other ponds. Calling frequently. Recording made. Bright yellow bellies, whitish chin/upper throat. Grey back, darker flight feathers, prominent white on each side of long tail regularly pumped up and down on landing. Grey head with white supercilium. Thanks to reviewer Bram Piot who corrected my initial identification of Eastern Yellow Wagtail.
