The Owlet-Nightjar superstar
Posted By: RobG, 03-27-2021, 08:17 PM

This fluffy little bird has a residence in the Australian National Botanic Gardens in Canberra. He has become very popular with local birders, and I'm quite late in getting a photo of him. He has a cute habit of shuffling from one foot to the other. Nightjars are nocturnal as their name suggests, but they seem to like to soak up the morning sun.

He likes to be fluffy in the morning sun. Someone I spoke to suggested that a whole family of Nightjars lives in the hollow. I'm not sure what the evidence was, but it's an amusing thought that they might be taking turns to sit in the sun.
