From Steve Debus Regards Shirley —– Original Message —– From: “Steve Debus” <sdebus@une.edu.au> To: “Shirley Cook” <shirleycook@skymesh.com.au> Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2015 3:12 PM Subject: RE: [Birding-Aus] Owlet-Nightjar Hi Shirley, Best detected by call at night, then approach the call with a spotlight. Not much eyeshine. They can be seen by driving slowly around on bush tracks, sometimes fly up from the ground. They call from their hollows during the day, and may be seen at the entrance or they might flush out when approached (though vulnerable to attack when flushed, so I wouldn’t deliberately flush them). At dusk they emerge and fly around, though not much more than a silhouette in that light level. In daytime or dusk their flight is undulating like a rosella or shrike-thrush.
