EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a true master of disguise - the Long-tailed Nightjar. With its intricate feather patterns perfectly blending into the forest floor, this adult bird showcases its remarkable camouflage skills. It seems as if nature itself has painted an exquisite portrait on its wings. As we delve into the lush woodlands of Gambia in January, we catch a glimpse of this elusive creature perched gracefully amidst fallen leaves and twigs. Its long tail feathers elegantly fan out behind it, adding to its mystique. This Gambian nightjar is no ordinary bird; it belongs to a family known for their nocturnal habits and haunting calls that echo through the woods after dusk. But during daylight hours, they rely on their incredible ability to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. With eyes keenly focused on any potential prey or threat lurking nearby, our feathered friend remains motionless – a testament to patience and stealth. The dense tropical foliage provides the perfect backdrop for this avian magician's act. Bernd Rohrschneider's expert lens captures not only the beauty but also the mystery surrounding these enchanting creatures. So next time you find yourself wandering through West Africa's forests, keep your eyes peeled for these masters of disguise – they may just be hiding right under your nose!
