This wee lady was incubating two eggs on bare ground not 60 cm from the side of out Land Rover. Furthermoe, about 10m away on an anthill was a male leopard with an Aardvark in the tre above him. For several days we checked on him and the nightjar: he was never observed threatening it in any way. Opinion among Singita's guides was Square-tailed Nightjar. I would have to hear it calling to be sure. |
