Heel fraai! Wij hebben ze wel in de avondschemer leuk gezien en gehoord, maar nooit zo mooi overdag. V

Excellent capture of this Nightjar nicely perched with a branch for extra support.
I have only seen this bird one time.
Resolution and bokeh is beautiful.

Interesting to see it in a tree; our Caprimulgus nightjars rest on the ground.
