"Now You See Me Now You Don't"....European Nightjar
I have been lucky enough to photograph and follow the progress of this Nightjar over the last few weeks.
Visits are kept to a minimum and only for a couple of minutes on each visit.I have received expert advice on the behaviour of this wonderful bird and have learnt so much about its habits.
Its a heavily predated species and i am aware that there are foxes in the area but these birds are increasing in numbers throughout Devon.
Everytime I see this remarkable nocturnal bird I am astounded by its camouflage as it sits motionless on the heathland floor.
Taken today in Devon
