found birds in pairs or if in groups of 3 I think
one of birds was a young. Saw one young not quite
three postnups. molts John collected a juvenile. Birds
were still singing at 0830 + heard clut chattering
from almost every pair.
Heard spluttering call of humeralis from several
birds as I approached to collect. It is a series of
rapidly repeated clipping-type notes which may be 2-part
to give sputtering effect.
