White-throated Nightjar

Post by Pat McConnell »

While looking for Powerful Owls in Highfields Falls on Wednesday night (20 April) I saw a White-throated Nightjar. I also heard a male and a female Powerful Owl and did manage to see one adult bird not far from Dau Road. The tracks are very overgrown and by the time I left I looked like a walking Cobbler's Peg. I also thought I heard a Noisy Pitta call once but wasn't sure so if you are out that way it may be worth a listen for it as well. The owls started calling at 5.45pm. Spangled Drongos were also present.
