Why it matters
The Australian Owlet-nightjar is the smallest of the nocturnal birds in its region, easily recognized by its distinctive rounded wings and tail which assist in its agile, moth-catching flights. While often heard calling from tree hollows at night, these birds are prized by observers for their elusive nature and the unique way they mimic the appearance of a knot in the wood when resting during the day.
