My son was doing some work on the roof of the cottage and disturbed an Owlet Nightjar that was sleeping in the roof cavity where it had entered through a hole in the fascia.
Rudely awakened it flew to the garden where I managed a photo before it sort a more secluded spot to rest.
They range throughout Australia but as a night bird usually seen in car lights when hunting their prey or by chance finding a roosting spot.
It has been some time since I have posted anything on the blog so I thought I should have a look at what has been missed.
Doing the morning check of the swimming pool I found a visitor had come in for a dip as a change from the nearby dam.
An Eastern Long-Neck Turtle one of a number that we see on the property but the pool is not a good place for them to have a swim as it is difficult for them to get out. Relocated to the dam for a much safer option.
