Media notes

The single clicking sound is that of a White-throated Kingfisher. I could see it making the call when it was scanning the swimming pool from a vantage point and later perched besides it to take frequent dips. Not clear what this call is supposed to mean. Can hear alexandrine parakeet in background.
