Wait for him to fly

The standard-winged nightjar is a nocturnal bird found in Africa, known for its incredible camouflage and unique breeding plumage. Males have long, ribbon-like wing feathers that extend dramatically during the breeding season, making them look almost otherworldly in flight. These birds are expert insect hunters, using their wide mouths to catch prey mid-air at night. Their cryptic feather patterns help them blend perfectly into the ground during the day, making them nearly invisible to predators.
