Observation details
The bird was first seen in flight among the trees about 15 m off the track in Creekwood Reserve. It seems unlikely that we flushed it at such a distance. It landed on a thin branch where it was viewed for 10 min. Neither Ian nor I have seen a a White-throated Nightjar perched like this before. I think it is unlikely to be on migration at this time of year, so could it be nesting?.
