This from an ANPS Wednesday Walk on 12 July to the old motorcycle area off Uriarra Road:
It was a rather cold day, and we didn't see much in the way of wildlife – although a Wedge-tailed Eagle did glide over early in the walk. But the avian highlight of the day was a beautiful little Owlet Nightjar. It flew across into a tree beside the track we were on and was so well-camouflaged it took us a while to see it again, even with binoculars. It perched there for some some time, so we got a good look at it while it watched us carefully with its large round eyes. It was another addition to the exciting things we so often see on Wednesday walks. Martin Butterfield
