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.

Still catch Nightjars.

When I went out yesterday I have several nightjars on the road flying up in front of my car. At the place for my mistnet a female fly around when I start the playback. After a while the female and a youngster was trapped in the net but when I removed the female the youngster fly away. I have some more nigthtjars fly around but the wind increased and I take down the net and go home again.
