Hi all,
Watched an Owlet Nightjar for about 15 minutes this
afternoon just below the summit of the lower peak of Mt. Majura.
I first saw it fly by and then followed it to a perch in a gum tree. it
remained there for ~5 min before flying to a perch in couple of metres
above the ground about 20 metres away. Following about another
5 minutes of observation it flew up to and disappeared inside a tree hollow of a
large gum. After about a minute, it poked it's head up and watched
me. I'd unfortunately left my bag near the base of that tree and as soon
as I went to retrieve my bag it flew out and away.
Very nice.
