Of course it's a misnomer of 'month' to say 'two full moons in a month'. That's the Gregorian colonisation of time. Month should apply to the lunar cycle as it did originally and still does in many many calendars.

A Full moon, seen through the tops of trees.

Buddh Poorinima in India & the first of the two Micro-Moon's in May 26. The next one is on 31st May (yaay). Could not make out the "mini-ness"

Around moon rise we could hear the call / song of an Indian Peafowl, Asian Koel, House Crows & a Brown-headed Barbet. Some dogs were barking too generally nothing to do with the moon
