Australian Owlet nightjar
A new location and a new "lifer" has made for a fun week so far. The Owlet nightjar is Australia's smallest nocturnal bird and lives in the same patch of woodland for most of its life.
In the wild they are harder to find with a torch or spotlight than most of Australia’s other nocturnal birds because their large brown eyes do not reflect the light. I waited for around 30 minutes at the location before it popped its head out! Processed in PR3, ACR and PS.
D500/500PF, 1/400th sec@f5.6, ISO3200, HH in fading light. Cheers.
