Yesterday evening I went out to the forest to try to catch this years first nightjar and I trapped Swedens first whitenecked nightjar. After a while I could hear a nightjar answer the playback and a while thereafter a nightjar flying into me and the mistnet and beeing trapped. When I look at the nightjar I could see several white feathers in his neck and I have never seen that before on any nightjar. I have catch 249 nightjars now and this is the first time I see clear white feathers on a nightjar. Many other birds have partial albinism with white feathers in their plumage and of course nightjars can have it too.
Den här bloggen kommer att handla om mitt projekt med Nattskärror i mellersta Kalmar län. Projektet går ut på att fånga och ringmärka Nattskärrorna för att studera flyttvägar, ortstrohet, övervintringsområden, biotop samt inventering av befintligt bestånd. -------------------------------- This blog will be about my project with Nightjars in central Kalmar county. The project aims to capture and ring Nightjars to study the migratory routes, local loyalty, wintering areas and habitat.
