Almost as rare, but not photographed, White-throated Nightjar (Eurostopodus mystacalis) flushed three times near track. No recent sightings of the more common Large-tailed Nightjar.

That nest certainly is crowded. Good that you heard one young Baza. Too many mozzies down here too but I guess it's to be expected with all the puddles lying around.
ReplyDeleteExcellent news about the baza.
ReplyDeleteWonder if the cute little wagtail chicks are in cahoots with the mossies? You know, the chicks decoy and delay photographers by looking sweet, while the mossies get their meals.
Hi Mick, Bronwen: Even better Baza news today. Both juveniles doing well, and in same tree late this morning.
ReplyDeleteThe wagtails deny being in cahoots with mozzies, but I'm not so sure. Never seen them eating the little bleeders!
