Om Nattskärra på wiki
Nattskärra on youtube and here
This was a really hard one. Two nights in a row I went up at 04.00 to drive to where they were supposed to be. I was lucky. I was told they were arriving from the east over the Baltic sea. Then they continue south to europe. As it is chilly this time of year they land on the asphalt to get some warmth from it. I spotted 4 or 5 sitting there and flying across the road in the headlights of the car. The first thing you saw was the red light reflected in their eyes. Trying to take some shots was a challenge. The one I show was the best one I got. I had to take it from inside the car. They were scared enough without trying to go outside. But, I have now seen it, and it was fun. Maybe I try again next year.

ReplyDeleteNattskärra har jag aldrig sett!
ReplyDeleteOj, vad det finns mycket man önskade få syn på i fågelvärlden :)
Ha det gott! /Bea
den var ju inte så lätt att se heller :)
ReplyDeleteHär uppe i Böda Kronopark har vi gott om dem. Vi brukar åka ut i juni vid 22-tiden på kvällen och vi ser och hör alltid flera stycken. De är så häftiga både med lätet och de röda ögonen som lyser i billjuset.Jag skrev om nattskärror på sofnet.org för någon månad sedan.

vad kul! Jag kollade på SOF om de hade nattskärran på artlistan. Men de hade inga data så jag fick gå till wiki för det.
ReplyDeleteMen då kanske du kan säga till mig när de kommer nästa år så kanske jag kan få till någon bättre bild. :)
