Excellent capture of an elusive creature of the night. The bird looks like an extension of its perch.It is wonderful how birds and animals instinctively find security in surroundings very akin to their own color and texture.

Good to see it in the clear. So nicely camouflaged with the branch. Moving just a bit more to the left if possible would have got it more parallel to the sensor. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. Even while perching, the camouflage is at the top of its mind. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Nice picture of the nightjar during the day. Seems to be pretty active. Thanks for sharing.

Nice perch. The borders take away our attention and hence don't help in critiquing.
