On Saturday night, myself, Matt and Madison Hughes
and David Mitford enjoyed some good spotlighting at Mitchell Park, Cattai
(approx. 55km NW of Sydney CBD). We had very good looks at
an Owlet Nightjar (perched on a horizontal branch), a Boobook Owl, a brief
view of Tawny Frogmouth and heard a White-throated Nightjar. We also
saw some interesting mammals as well including nice views of 2 Yellow-bellied
Gliders feeding in the Eucalypts, Sugar Gliders, both Common Brushtail and
Ringtail Possums and lots of small unidentifed bats (several flew very close to
us).
Also during the final hour or so before dark, we
saw 2 Brush Cuckoos, a Sacred Kingfisher, a Dollarbird and heard Leaden
Flycatchers.
