User's notes

These were the weirdest calls ever. I tracked it down to two immature Golden Whistlers that were not that golden in colour. There an adult bird calling not far off, but these two were singing and answering; an immature female and an immature male. The male did have one patch of yellow on one side. Never seen them at this stage before.
