European Nightjar - Nattskärra (Caprimulgus europaeus)

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.

More Nightjars this recordyear.

This morning I went out to the forest at 03:00 a.m to catch nightjars before my ordinary work. When I go out from my car I have some nightjars call, wingclap and shurring and I quickly put up the nets and start the playback. After a while I have three nightjars in the net and 4-6 anothers fly around. One of the catched bird go out from the net and i only could ringed two birds this morning.
