A family of nightjars on the South Downs heathland in southern England, UK. The elusive nightjar has made a remarkable comeback in the South Downs national park following conservation efforts: it’s thought their numbers have doubled in the past five years.

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 ...

My phone managed to pick up the nightjar call last night!
Sorry for all the #nightjar posts!!! 😆

Later last evening, I did a #Nightjar survey and once the work was completed I thought I'd try out the video function of my thermal imager. What do you think?

First up, "Skyglow relieves a crepuscular bird from visual constraints on being active" by Evens et al.: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.165760
In the paper, they show that #nightjar birds behave differently in locations with or without skyglow, and importantly that the relation with cloud cover is opposite between the two locations. (10/17)

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.

This is a great eared nightjar.
To me, it looks like a dragon bird. Such an odd bird! Love the creature, though I have never met one in person yet.

Having a bit of a break from #Bradford Pride with a pint in the #ExchangeCraftBeerHouse. An excellent selection from #Nightjar brewery, which I'd never come across before.
Now bracing ourselves or a visit to #GrumpyJohn's cider festival...

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?

Always sad these days to observe an interesting species and not have a chance to photograph it 🙁. I was leaving the CSIRO Black Mountain site here in #Canberra at dusk this evening, and a bird flew close overhead that I would instantly have called as a #nightjar in Europe.
Dark with long, parallel-sided wings and tail and the rubbery flight of a hawking nightjar or nighthawk.
It must have been my first white-throated nightjar, but I'm left with this in #iNaturalist:

#DoodlewashDecember2022 prompt: Nightjar
Did you know the male nightjar has a call with up to 1900 notes a minute? They also make a loud wing-clapping sound when patrolling territory.
