New Zealand Rockwren - Xenicus gilviventris Dan Lane 2014-11-25 near Homer Tunnel, South Island, New Zealand, Southland District (New Zealand) (900 m) call -

The very high-pitched 'ti' notes are natural vocalizations from a probable male that was hopping about inside stunted vegetation amid boulders, mostly within 1m of the mic, but out of sight. It was near a nest, and probably foraging to feed young. Light rain and waterfall sounds competing, and so I filtered below about 4000 Hz.
