Call of the Red-keeled Flowerpecker

This short footage features the call of this tiny Philippine endemic. The 7D MII's on-board microphone did a good job of picking up the sound from over 20 meters away, even with a lot of background noise. The background noise was filtered out during post process to isolate the call.
