Spotted Nightjar

sitting on its nest containing one egg

I accidentally flushed this bird from its nest.
I returned about 4 hours later and managed to find and photograph it without flushing it again.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great shot of it. It does look like almost the same bird as the one I photographed in Brazil. ~BV~

Amazing you were able to see it! Very camouflaged.

Terrific find and photo! Glad you were able to go back and find her and she stayed on the nest.

it found an excellent nesting spot, so well done for your keen eye, and for returning for a second crack, and an accomplished one it is too...
