White Throated Nightjar, Sphinx memorial, Ku-rin-Gai NP, northern Sydney

["Tom and Mandy Wilson" <>]

Hi all
I thought I'd check out this site, where I have seen and heard White 
Throated Nightjars in previous summers after not making any visits so far 
this summer (Normal excuses - too busy, too tired, too rainy etc).  However, 
I was not disappointed, with 1 bird seen well hawking over car park for 2-3 
mins, approx 8:45pm (35 mins after sunset).  Several birds heard were 
calling from 8:25 - they could have been calling earlier, but would have 
been drowned out by the cicadas (seems to link nicely to another thread from 
today!).
Also, 1 Owlet Nightjar was heard from the car park at 8:45 and a party of 4 
Tawny Frogmouths heard and seen in trees on road down, at about the bend 
before the car park.
NB - if anybody plans on visiting this site, park outside the gates down to 
the Sphinx, as they are locked at dusk or earlier.
Cheers
Tom Wilson
