	Red-necked Nightjar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Red-necked Nightjar, Caprimulgus ruficollis, is the largest nightjar which occurs in Europe.
		It flies at dusk, most often at sundown, with an easy, silent moth-like flight; its strong and deliberate wingbeats alternate with graceful sweeps and wheels with motionless wings.
		During the day this nightjar lies silent upon the ground, concealed by its plumage; it is difficult to detect, looking like a bit of lichen-covered twig or a fragment of bark.

	Nightjar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nightjars are medium-sized nocturnal birds with long wings, short legs and very short bills that usually nest on the ground.
		Nightjars are sometimes referred to as goatsuckers from the mistaken belief that they suck milk from goats (the Latin for goatsucker is Caprimulgus).
		In their pioneering DNA-DNA hybridisation work, Sibley and Ahlquist found that the genetic difference between the eared nightjars and the typical nightjars was, in fact, greater than that between the typical nightjars and the nighthawks of the New World.

	Birdwatching Trip Report from Portugal
		One of my target birds for this trip was the Red necked Nightjar and I was a bit envious of one person that I spoke to that almost trod on one just outside of Albufeira in daylight.
		Red rumped Swallow as well as other Swallows plus a few Swifts were flying over, under and around the bridge.
		We decided to go the the nightjar site nearby in daylight, and whilst driving around there I found a new track that was partly hidden by a bush and driving through it I found that it went to a hidden river and straight away I found my first Sedge warbler of the holiday.

		The bird was using an 'ariel' high on the roof of the building - from where it made regular 'forays' which lasted a few seconds before returning to the perch.
		Red necks do look paler than their European cousins and I have heard of them around urbanisations where they catch insects that are attracted to the light, so it is not that unusual.
		Always thought it was a Red Necked but none of my bird guides would confirm my sightings.

		By the end of the first week of our stay other birds that were very active upon our arrival had also suddenly gone quiet, for example, melodious warbler and red necked nightjar.
		In the first week at approximately 21.45 hours each night and 05.15 every morning both nightjar and red necked nightjar would begin churing, displaying and feeding.
		Standing on the flat roof we were able to see red necked nightjars through binoculars in reasonable light perching on this cable before launching into the pines after moths.
