Observation details

Two birds were calling continuously from a jasmine shrub. I could record the calls from a distance of just over a meter. My presence, and the microphone pointing at them didn't seem to intimidate the birds and they were just hopping around inside the shrubbery. The calling continued for more than 15 minutes and I stopped recording as I had to go to work. The merged clips were not uploading properly as a single track so I have uploaded them separately. The clips are not edited (neither noise reduction nor amplification have been applied) to retain the background sounds from the street and of other birds in the garden.
