White Throated Nightjar, Ku-ring-gai NP< Sydney

["Tom and Mandy Wilson" <>]

Hi all
I popped down to the Sphinx Memorial Car park near the Bobbin Head entrance 
of Ku-ring-gai National park in Sydney this evening (25 Jan 2009) between 
7:55pm and 8:50pm.  I heard 3 White Throated Nightjars calling from about 
8:20pm and in the gloaming saw 2 hawking in the distance over the ridge that 
carries the Bobbin Head Track.  Two were calling from this area, but one of 
the birds called from very near the car park (if one is looking out over the 
sphinx's head at the flagpole, it was over my left shoulder, so in the bush 
a little way back up the entrance road).  It called quite load and clear 
three times over a 15 minute period and then silence, which means it may 
have left to hunt for the evening?
I also heard an Owlet Nightjar call.
Cheers
Tom Wilson
