A male calling from beside a tree as a female (silent throughout) investigates a cavity, presumably as a potential nesting hole. Towards the later part of the recording (timestamp unsure) it flew to the tree and perched at the top of the cavity (but did not seem to change its call type).

The initial vocalisations sound like a song, though I am not completely sure of this. The bird was in a fig tree.
