Media notes
NOTES: Very common in tall grasses at the airport. Thought to be an Angolan endemic. Males are staking out their territory now. Males sit on top of grasses and sally out giving the longer, buzzy calls in flight, then perching on tops of grass again. Their backs are very fluffed up. At least 4 seen in this small location. Other Behaviors: Advertise.
