When the late Trevor Squire was alive, I was lucky enough to join his team for an evening ringing session of Nightjars on the Dorset heaths. Enjoyable memories #nightjar #birds #wildlife #birding #bto

Salvadori’s Nightjar

Caprimulgus pulchellus - see below.

Endemic to Java and Sumatra. These would be hard to spot without someone like Adunbahrum who knows a roost tree.

Cibodas Botanic Garden, Java, Indonesia, Sept 26.

Drew some nightjars after seeing one irl. I have a resident bird in my neighbourhood and they’re so fun to watch

A sketch page of a large-tailed nightjar (a brown bird with black and white patterning, it has a flat head and a beak that looks petite), there are two headshots (one of a frontal view of the nightjar and another of the nightjar with its mouth open), and two full body drawings of the nightjar perching and roosting. The handwriting on the top right of the page says “Large-tailed” with the words “caprimulgus macrurus” under it. On the bottom left of the page it reads “Tuk tuk - Mr.Nightjar at 1am”

Eight books in a pile, their spines facing the viewer and arranged in size order, largest at the bottom. The room behind them is white.
