Video of the release of a red-necked nightjar. Nightjars are related to swallows and are active after sunset. They prey on moths that they can see flying above them in the night sky.
My husband had found him stunned on the road one night. It was challenging to take care of him as he slowly returned to consciousness, especially since there are no moths around our house. After about ten days he began flying, but quickly understood that there was nowhere to go and stopped. He rode on my hand from his night-time perch at the window, to his daytime perch high up in the darkest corner at the back of the rooms. My bulbuls were fascinated and he hissed at them when they came over to look at him.
When he made it clear that he wanted out, we took him back, just as the sun set; to the place where Franck had found him. Though he seemed uncertain at first, he eventually flew off and at the end, as night fell, you can hear nightjars calling all around us as we walked back to the car. Fortunately, there was a waxing half moon, which is known to be a time preferred by nightjars; it would make life easier for him in the nights to come.
