Yesterday the weather was good for the nightjar hunting so I went into the forest when it started getting dark. In first place came nightjar flying, and landed several times near the dummy and the CD player. It seemed really annoyed and did not want to leave the area as they usually do after a while. Eventually it flew into the net and got caught. The second was a bit difficult before it came flying, but once it came it was with a vengeance, it was really irritated and not wanting to leave the area. Once it flew into the net but bounced out again, usually as they pull away now and you can pack up the net and come back another day. But this one landed on the ground when it bounced out, and sat there for a while before it attacked again and got stuck. At one point, so put it on a low stone just a meter away from me, and sat it in a minute before it flew again. So it seems that the weight function as intended, but I'm going out tonight again and try more.
En mycket arg nattskärra. --- A very angry nightjar.
Uppe på höjden på det nya hygget hade den sitt revir.
Up on the height was his territory.
Oj så arg man kan vara... Jag kan ana släktskapet med dinosaurier på bilden. Spännande att läsa om dessa underliga fåglar!
