Extremely well camouflaged bird.
I always wonder how people can find any of these nightjar birds.
Great finding and a nice image, Alan.

300mm, wow! Great image. I like the camouflage and the bit of green.

Congratulations finding this beauty, Alan. Indeed it's incredibly camouflaged.

Stunning image with lovely bird, great camo & superb sharpness.

Looks like you could step on one without ever knowing about it! I love the dry leaves all around it, very cool, but what is even better are the fresh vegetation bits growing through.
