Sykes’s vs. Egyptian Nightjars
Nightjars are famous for their camouflage and their night habits. Some species remain largely unknown and Sykes’s Nightjar is surely one of them. After the first for Oman, found by some friends in 2016, the species must be in every WP birder radar so it’s good to know how does it look like. We had amazing views of an Egyptian Nightjar in Muntasar Oasis, Oman, and started to wonder how to tell them apart when seen perched. Spoiler alert: after a very close scrutiny, I still don’t know yet.
