Nightjars are nocturnal birds and - being very well camouflaged - stay on the ground during the day. When it is dark they fly out in search of insects.
The Savanna Nightjar likes open woodland and stony areas with scrub.

Yesterday was Earth Overshoot Day (EOD), the calculated illustrative calendar date on which humanity’s resource consumption for the year exceeds Earth’s capacity to regenerate those resources that year. (1987= 19th of December)
Time to reconsider our consumption habits !

"This is our moment.
We cannot turn back time. But we can grow trees, green our cities, rewild our gardens, change our diets and clean up rivers and coasts. We are the generation that can make peace with nature.
Let’s get active, not anxious. Let’s be bold, not timid."
