- European nightjar or common goatsucker (Caprimulgus europaeus). Bird sounds and nest. Birds singing, hatching eggs and feeding chicks in the night.
This is just fabulous. So many great footage of such a secretive bird. Including some vocalizations I have never hear before. Great job!
"...and smal fowles maken melodye, that slepen all the knickt with open eye..." Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer. Fabulous footage!
So blessed to have a returning migrant to our Johannesburg city garden. My husband planted the trees and shrubs affording the camouflage habitat.
8:28: How they simultaneously turn around to poop ;-) So funny and cute!
Absolutely incredible footage. You don’t see footage like this of nightjars like this very often. Well done to whoever shot this.

The way his mom’s feathers plop over his head after he cuddles up. 👌

A very inquisitive bird that blends extremely well into its natural environment.
Amazing sounds, almost frog 🐸 like to me ...

Super Bird 🌲 👌
Omg a bird with whiskers 😍😍
What a refreshing surprise that the baby's know when the kitchen is cl closed .
I'm 60 yr old l never knew of this species of birds. Fascinating.
Just saw a nightjar for the first time in my back garden in a urban area UK west midlands resting and sleeping on my small grey wall ledge, so well camouflaged! omg what a stunning weird bird. Beautiful wing span with white feathers when it flew off .
Thanks for sharing! Nightjars are so fascinating, and their chicks are so cute! 🥰 They’re like the terrestrial versions of owls. 🦉I hope to see one in real life.
Amazing photos! Thank you so much for your time and effort. What an incredible window into their lives. Thank you again!

أنت صياد وكل متنزل نغمة تحضرها
This is an amazing video. Such an inside look at a very shy bird! The way the babies beg for food ❤
Great video. A real strange sound for a bird 😂
Super best... as always!
A chick born, grown up to be a nocturnal, somewhat swift-like, partly terrestrial bird, fastly moving its beak jaws as it emits a long trill, heard with some emphasizing undertones of glamour. It often goes out on the trees, perhaps scanning its surroundings. As it flies, it flaps with rough, sharp claps as it call out. Nesting among the ground, the dirt partly scattered with grass make for it, no need for nest arrangement, and the chicks tinily trill for food. Elusive and cautious about the surroundings, the nightjar will often have to care for the chicks in the breeding times and will often grunt in assistance of their chicks. Not always easy to watch and search out for them, they sometimes have to wander around the forest and always rest for the day. Chicks sometimes wander around not far from the nest to call their parents. Owls and other nightjars call out while the aware parents take care for the chicks. How long has this dedication come for one person to observe the behavior for hours and hours, amazing how patient he is. The light trills come out of the parent bird, often responsible for the safety of the chicks. Beaks look small but are significantly wide. Chicks growing, starting to make trilling sounds not pronounced much, and they feel calm together, somewhat. Chicks yawn and trill wondering about their parents have gone, are they gonna see them? Well, they will have to do something by themselves instead. Chicks grow up much, seeing how far they have lived now to the near mature stage. All the best goes for the parents for their chicks, and the chicks survived! At some point, the chicks have to use a threaten technique and defend themselves, and so, what are they seeing? Oh well, chick says go away. The chicks feel more excited than ever, yet they still think, how long will I survive, as whether I may not be eaten by a predator? Everything hopefully goes well for them, with the sight of a nightjar perched on a thick branch, often calm regardless of what's happening, but still aware that is, a songbird near it doesn't annoy much. All it is, to the calmness and the stillness of the nightjar, at the end!
Great comment.
WOW, what beautiful video!
Fascinating!

Precioso camuflage, y magnífico video 👏👏👏👏🌱💚
im from Poland. Heard that bird only once when i was in NL. Never saw it.
Your work is always the best, but none surpasses this one. Absolutely amazing!! Congratulations and thank you 🙏🏼
I love it. Came here to look for a reference. Currently reading the Tower of Swallows. This video proved more than adequate, very informative and the birds are truly enjoyable to watch. And their churring, very calming.
Ну, роскошный фильм! Спасибо
european nightjar -best l have heard so much in depth john kelley
I just knew it was a Nightjar that I heard the other night in Bristol. It was replying to an Owl with that mechanical whirring sound. Chuffed to bits to know that they are still around 😊
incredible !! congrats and lot of thanks !
Интересные вибрации клюва при пении. Спасибо за возможность наблюдать за этим.
Wow 😮 thanks 4 uploading
They look like dragons 🥇
As always so wonderful video. And with the sound if a tengmalm owl on extra …your country seems so great for nature. It’s a pity to see the other sides of this country…
Fantastic!
Nice
козодои выводковые птицы?!
Wow, amazing!
I have never seen one (except perhaps a black siluette flying by), but now I know for sure I have heard it many years in a row at night behind our old summer cottage. It worries me to learn that they are ground nesting though, there are a lot of huge domestic neighbour cats prowling around at night.
Funny sound too 😅
1:07. Pretty sure that beautiful noise was sampled during the brilliant 90's rave era.....................;)
Funny looking
Great!!! Thanks for sharing 🤗
The third little dude sounds like AOL starting up in 1996.

Baby bird is trying to pull mom’s peak out 😀
1:32, surely the scary sounds from the amazing film, The Thing..........................

I'm running a nightjar evening near Tunbridge Wells, UK if anyone is interestes in joining me. We usually hear them singing and flying.

ALESSANDRO DE SOUZA AXÉ BOM DIA

Frog with wings and fur.
3:28, what bird?..................................
Theres no way this isnt dragon. It looks like its trying to spit fire.
شكلك صياد وكل متنزل نغمة تحضرها
Jesus Christ, is it a bird or a toad? Lol
not much for best building then
shining bright light at these birds at night is not respectful.
