Hi there birders,
Yesterday I visited the Pangarinda Arboretum at Wellington East. This
arboretum is about 30km south of Murray Bridge South Australia (or about
90km SE of Adelaide).
For the last four weeks a single Spotted Nightjar has been roosting in
the one location within the arboretum. It has been observed close up by
quite a few people in that time.
Yesterday we were able to approach to within 2 metres to take photos
without disturbing the bird.
This is one species that I had dismissed as being able to get a good
close up photo of. One should never say never.
Happy birding.
Trevor
