Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: These nightjars breed across most of Europe and the Palearctic to Mongolia and Northwestern China, and winter in sub-Saharan Africa all the way down to South Africa. This mean that they are here with our summer visitors, but they are are seldom seen, even by experienced birders. I was lucky enough to have one roosting in the tree that I was camped under at Mapungubwe in December 2021. I would probably not have noticed it had it not been pointed out to me by the camp attendants. It departed the tree at dusk, around 18h50, and returned sometime after dawn. Invariably, it was not there when I left camp at around 04h30, but was there when I returned later in the morning. They often roost in the same tree repeatedly, and often the same spot in the tree. |
