Unexpected sighting

 May be an image of kookaburra and owl

 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.
