Anyone who has ever visited a Southern African game reserve would agree that the call of the nightjars plays a big role in the magic of this place

our local nightjars are more nocturnal than they are crepuscular

Player #3144122, Just out of interest, the 4th picture on the top row is a "hoopoe"

Crepuscular means "active in the early morning and late evening"

Player BARTEMAEUS 10,
I've seen hoopoes and nightjars in Greece.
In Australia we had a " tawny frogmouth" in our garden, they're closely related to nightjars.

"Come down in time," an Elton John/Bernie Taupin song mentions "nightjars," I never knew what they were until now!
