Hi all
I spent about 50 minutes from sunset (7:20) at the Sphinx Memorial car park (just inside the Bobbin Head Road Gate to Ku-rin-gai NP - I saw a nightjar at this location in early 2007, ) - I heard WT Nightjars calling (the filling up bottle call) several times but all were fairly distant - I had 1 possible sighting over car park but the bird whizzed past and didn't return. As well, several Owlet Nightjars called from much closer. I also saw an Echidna bashing through the bush at the car park, and a Tawny Frogmouth on the way home.
Cheers
Tom Wilson
