Spotted Nightjar in Brisbane

["Tim Murphy" <>]

Recently I received a report of a Spotted Nightjar from J. C Slaughter Falls
in Brisbane. This is a small park and picnic area on the north face of Mt
Coottha and only about 8 km from the CBD. This spot has always been reliable
for White-throated Nightjars and Powerful Owls, however the Spotted Nightjar
is not meant to come close to the east coast. I confirmed it last night at
dusk.

It is reported at

Click the J.C. Slaughter Falls links for details about the Park. The bird
was sighted near the pool.
