Guess Who's Playing Hide and Seek? Long-tailed Nightjar Spotted Mastering Camouflage in Gambia!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, a skilled Long-tailed Nightjar takes camouflage to the next level as it perfectly blends into its leafy surroundings. With its intricate feather patterns mirroring the fallen leaves scattered on the ground, this African beauty effortlessly disappears amidst nature's tapestry. Caught in action by FLPA photographer Robin Chittenden, this adult nightjar showcases its remarkable ability to blend seamlessly with its environment. Its cryptic plumage and impeccable mimicry make it nearly impossible for predators or even keen-eyed birdwatchers to spot! As we delve into the vibrant world of West Africa's Gambia, January brings us an extraordinary display of wildlife wonders. This tropical paradise is home to an array of fascinating creatures, including these elusive long-tailed nightjars. During daylight hours when most birds are active, our nocturnal friend prefers to rest among the leaf litter – a clever strategy that keeps it hidden from prying eyes. But don't be fooled by their daytime slumber; once dusk falls, they transform into agile aerial acrobats, gracefully swooping through the skies in search of insects. So next time you find yourself wandering through Gambia's enchanting wilderness, keep your eyes peeled for these masters of disguise. The long-tailed nightjars will surely leave you amazed at how nature has perfected the art of blending in while still standing out!
