Lorne,
Just had a listen to the BOCA Aus Owlet Nightjar and yes, that it is for
sure. Gosh, you are good at this!
Wasn't calling when I left work at 16:50 this evening. I stood and waited
for about fifteen minutes.
Is the area between the main entry road to Prospect reserve and the eastern
boundary (left side) off limits? It was in there about 200 meters in.
Thanks
Cheers
Akos
