Very interesting as this sighting would possibly be nocturnal migration. InCarter, M., & Bright, B. (2011), 'White-throated Nightjar: Diurnal Over-sea Migration in a Nocturnal Bird' Australian Field Ornithology, 28; 32-37, published in March this year we presented evidence for diurnal migration in this species. I suppose your birds could have just been arriving at their destination or continuing their journey. Mike Carter 30 Canadian Bay Road Mount Eliza VIC 3930 Tel (03) 9787 7136 |
