| Southern Tchagra - Tchagra tchagra | Lynette Rudman | 2021-02-16 | 12 Willeton Road (near Grahamstown), Western District, Eastern Cape, Albany (South Africa) (600 m) | adult, call, sex uncertain - Two birds were flitting around together from bush to bush in the early morning. I presume these are contact call between male and female. The one bird makes the loud 'chip' call and the other one the softer more trilling call in between. At one stage it looked like they were chasing one another but not aggressively which made me think it could be a kind of courtship behaviour. bird-seen:yes playback-used:no
