Moluccan Owlet Nightjar

We were suppose to have had four nights on Halmahera but unfortunately our internal flight was delayed and we missed a night which only left three.  Owlet Nightjar was a much sought after bird which we wanted to see so we were gutted when we missed it on the first night and again on the second night - we were birding when we became aware of a bad accident on the next bend, we immediately stopped birding and assisted in the aftermath where unfortunately one gentlemen died so after this very sad end to the second day our spirits were lifted when we eventually saw this stunning bird on our last night on the Island.
