I hope you used the available light to take a good aim with your handy
air rifle...

Craig,

Not Kookaburras, but I did see several Indian Mynas scavenging in a well
lit
carpark of a 7-eleven recently at about 10pm...

Cheers,
Greg

&gt;Dear Craig
&gt;I've noticed Frogmouths and Boobooks hawking for moths/insects
around
&gt;the street light outside my house in Gloucester.

&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; I have seen the same thing at Toronto where a car yard was
well
lit and on a
&gt; &gt; warm summer night the Kookas were hanging around well after
dark
catching
&gt; &gt; insects attracted to the light.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Cheers

&gt; &gt; Hi folks,
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Just a bird behaviour note: last night doing a hospital visit
at
about
&gt; &gt; 8.00pm - John Hunter hospital grounds, near Newcastle -
noticed a
Kookaburra
&gt; &gt; exploiting the lighting in the hospital grounds, doing some
night
feeding.
&gt; &gt; At first I thought it was a frogmouth as they're ubiquitous in
the
area but
&gt; &gt; shortly identified the bird as a KB.  Have others noted
Kookaburras
&gt; &gt; exploiting human light regimes to good effect?
&gt; &gt; I've heard them call at all sorts of hours - especially during

breeding
&gt; &gt; - but have not been in a position to spot them actively
feeding at
night.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; I'm researching nonhuman/human interactions and human
&quot;lightscapes&quot; are
&gt; &gt; becoming increasingly prominent in my thinking.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; for the birds, of the birds
&gt; &gt;
