Vrae wat reisigers vra

’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die European Nightjar op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.

Which parks and reserves are best for the European Nightjar in South Africa?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the European Nightjar at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and iSimangaliso Wetland Park. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The European Nightjar is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (39% of records), Limpopo (26% of records), Mpumalanga (17% of records), based on 188 iNaturalist observations. 10 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the European Nightjar on site or nearby.

When is the best time to see the European Nightjar?

Sightings of the European Nightjar peak from Nov to Mar, based on 188 iNaturalist records. You may still see it outside those months, sightings are just less frequent.

What is the European Nightjar?

The European nightjar, Eurasian nightjar or just nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus) is a crepuscular and nocturnal bird in the nightjar family that breeds across most of Europe and temperate Asia. The Latin generic name refers to the old myth that the nocturnal nightjar suckled goats, causing them to cease to give milk.
