Media notes

These were common on the day, quite a good spot to see them up close. Think i saw at least 4 birds at less than 15m distance and in total would have heard 10-12 birds, all paired up, one pair seemed to be flying about a potential nest hole. This particular set of calls was of a pair flying back and forth from a likely nest hole
