It seems Schloss Dagstuhl expects birds to be deterred from window collisions by the sight of a #nightjar - surely one of the least threatening medium-sized birds - even if they are really the trapped #souls of unbaptised children, doomed for all eternity to blind #goats ...

No, this isn't a dragon hatchling – it's a great-eared nightjar!
A nocturnal species known for its haunting calls and unusual habit of incubating its eggs on the forest floor, the great-eared nightjar (Lyncornis macrotis) is a sight to behold for those lucky enough to spot one in the wild.

Caprimulgus ritae: A #NewSpecies of #Nightjar from Timor and Wetar https://sciencythoughts.blogspot.com/2024/06/caprimulgus-ritae-new-species-of.html
A new species of nightjar (Caprimulgus) from Timor and Wetar, Lesser Sunda Islands, Wallacea https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ibi.13340
"#Nightjars are nocturnal #birds with highly cryptic plumage, seldom observed by humans despite a near-global distribution. Their highly unobtrusive nature, combined with the similar appearance of different species of nightjar makes them extremely hard to study"

Night hawks asleep on a driftwood roost in Tambopata River, Peruvian Amazon. Tambopata National Park core has only one lodge, Tambopata Research Center. I am so lucky to have stayed there twice, in a ‘room’ open to the jungle. I wish I was there. Perhaps I can write myself back?
