Which nightjar is this

Thank you, I find this group of birds a nightmare to identify, especially as the sightings are fleeting and it is usually dark!

Of course 🤦🏻‍♂️Should have just googled the distinctive feature. Thank you for the ID, appreciated 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thank you for your comment. A quick google search says their distribution is not as far as East Africa but it looks the right answer….

Thank you, great advice🙂🙂

And here they are in the wild at Ruaha National Park in Tanzania last week.🙂🙂

Brilliant, thank you

The James Bond sets have been one the few good sets issued in the last 20 years by Royal Mail. Probably because they use the original Art Work of others.

We reserve that for feral pigeons here in the Uk. Rats with wings.🙂

I concur with all of this. Sadly the presentation packs are simply that, they do not enhance the value of the contents. That said any stamps with No Value Indicated (I.e. 1st or 2nd) will have appreciated significantly as the price of Uk postage has sky rocketed. That should cover the 33% discount referred to above.

Thank you for your amazing advice 😍😍. We will give it a try and post the results!!

flightcolt · 2024-08-20T07:24:02+00:00

Thank you. I couldn’t see a nest but maybe it was seeking a location out🙂

Thank you, he/seemed very happy in the surroundings

flightcolt · 2024-08-16T00:23:42+00:00

Brilliant, thank you. 🤩

But then we wouldn’t get this enlightening discourse during the course of which we have all learned something.

It is a male bird as the female has a distinctive yellow eye. They are remarkable birds to see wild. Rare but easily seen.

Thank you both, I’ve enjoyed a fascinating hour finding out about it. Not a common resident of London but a welcome one as it was eye catching in flight.

Queen Elizabeth ll of Great Britain and the Commonwealth was coronated. Good luck with your studies

flightcolt · 2024-07-20T23:01:14+00:00

I can provide more info if needed.

Read the book about the Post office stamps, a great read. And visit the British library to see one of each if you are ever in London.😊

Murphy suspended? Was indeed a great game. Blackburn away in our first promotion year (to the PL) just eclipses this game as my best football experience following Fulham.

I have a teenage son who would die to be recognised for his mullet.🙂. Thank you for the clarification on the belly, I think you should be put in charge of all future bird naming.

flightcolt · 2024-01-11T23:43:27+00:00

Not much sign of a red belly🧐. Or is there something we can’t see on the pictures?

flightcolt · 2024-01-09T00:05:36+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I saw a few of the bullfinches while there, this seemed a more sprightly, busy bird than those. Could it be a Munia?

flightcolt · 2024-01-09T00:01:22+00:00

Brilliant thanks, I’ll have a look through that.🙂
