Aranda: Owlet nightjar

[Tonya Haff <>]

Hi all,

My housemate - not a birder, but a decent and reliable naturalist - saw an owlet nightjar under a lamppost on Walu St in Aranda late one evening "about a week ago" (she just told me last night).  I'm not sure if this is worth reporting or not, but just thought I'd pass along the word.  I'm jealous!  I guess I should ride my bike around more at in the middle of the night.

Cheers,

Tonya

There have been 35 previous records of White-bellied Cuckoo-Shrike in the GBS spread fairly evenly over years and in many suburbs.  However this is the first record of more than one bird.

There were 2 White-bellied Cuckoo-Shrikes in our garden earlier this morning (about 8 am).  I heard them calling and went out into the rain to investigate.  One was a dark morph the other an intermediate morph.  They flew west over Hobbs St towards Dryandra St.
