Creatures, Welcome and Otherwise

I mentioned recently that there are constant rabbits in the garden this year. They are hard to photograph though, because they tend to either wait until the light is quite dim to venture into the open, or be a long way from the house so I can't get a clear picture. However this one was out on the front grass at 6:00pm, when it is still quite light:
A brazen bunny!


A nicer critter to see owns these two big eyes, captured on the wildlife camera early on Thursday morning:
It is hard to guess what it is when that is all you see, but here it is on a previous visit when it sat further from the camera:
It is an Australian owlet nightjar, Aegotheles cristatus.

It must be thrilling to see what the night camera captures.

Fingers crossed some bigger birds start living in your garden that like to eat rabbits!
