Nightjar? - Ingledene

I visited the burnt out remnants of
Ingledene Pine Forest yesterday. Ingledene is located on Smith's Rd between
Angle Crossing and Tharwa.
A few surprises including a lone Diamond
Firetail in a burnt tree amid the wasteland and right on dusk I disturbed
what was possibly an Owlet-Nightjar. The bird was hawking low and fast
over the scarred landscape. It is possible that it could have been a White-throated
Nightjar as I didnt see any wing spots, but it was too quick and must have
landed on the ground somewhere as there are no trees for miles around and
I couldnt find it again in the twilight. And I thought Nightjars left the
local region to migrate north during winter.

Cheers
