      It is fairly common over here, usually very shy but at this location, we can see them almost every night :D Posted 2 years ago

      Indeed, as they are very shy. However, at this location, we see them almost every night, and several times, either at night or early morning, so I make sure I get some decent shots by waiting at the place they will likely show up and with my camera ready :D Posted 2 years ago
