Our friends the Wards in Kingston rescued tPhoto by Anna Wardhis beautiful young potoo in their garden.  It is not injured, probably just learning to fly and not quite there yet!  It will be placed high up in the tree where its mother has been seen and heard calling to it.

See update, below, and here is another picture of the potoo.

“Put the bird outside Saturday gone and there was great excitement as the mother/ father came, and by morning there was no sign of anyone.  This afternoon our dear friend is now sitting out on the cooler box so I get the feeling here is where he/she wants to be!” – Cecil
