Hi All
Thankyou to everyone who replied to my original query. I realised, as
usual after I'd sent it, that I had not identified where I was 'calling'
from. Brisbane, Qld for those of you who may have wondered.
I must say I feel a lot 'better' (well, less of a failure!) when I see
how many of us have seen only a few AON. I have tried scratching &
tapping likely looking trees, but, as some cautioned, I am not overly
enthusiastic about disturbing roosting birds. It would appear that
learning the call would probably help all of us hear/see them more. I do
understand that it sounds like a cricket-like chirping - I'll have to
listen to a recording to distinguish this from the cicadas and other
assorted twilight callers that abound. I have this feeling that they are
a lot more common than we think.
I have to agree with Edwin, and at the risk of sounding non-puristic, the
one and only one I've seen so far was pretty cute!
Thankyou all again and I hope you'll forgive me if I don't reply
individually.
