Avian sighting - Large Nightjar


This Nightjar was found  roosting  on the ground thanks to my good buddy Rob spotting it. Usually these nocturnal birds will stay very still  sleeping like frogmouth at a spot during the day and actively feed on the fly perching electrical lines or post overlooking lighted lamp where flying insects like moths congregate.

I believe they are territorial and can  stay at a habitat for a good time if the place is conducive &  not disturbed too much by  predators or birders.
