Hello Richard and others,
Great sighting the bird you described is
NOT an Owlet Nightjar,they are quite distinctive,look to my eye like a big
prediluvian Blackbird,do not have fine wings I think you might have meant
that you saw a White throated anyway.With the climate changes we are having
I believe we should bear in mind the possibility of a vagrent Spotted
Nightjar...I am convinced that I saw one in the same place once only for two
years in a row,flushed off the ground by my dog in Casuarina stands on Mt
Majura about 15 years ago...Terry Gourlay
