EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA photographer John Hawkins, we witness the mysterious and elusive Egyptian Nightjar indulging in a well-deserved daytime slumber. Perched gracefully on the golden sands of Morocco's majestic desert, this adult nightjar effortlessly blends into its surroundings with its remarkable camouflage. As the scorching sun bathes the Sahara in warm rays, our feathered friend finds solace amidst the sandy landscape. With eyes closed and wings tucked neatly against its body, it peacefully rests without a care in the world. The Moroccan spring breeze gently caresses its delicate feathers as it dreams of soaring through North Africa's vast skies. The mesmerizing beauty of this moment lies not only in the bird's serene repose but also in its ability to adapt to such harsh conditions. Nature has gifted these magnificent creatures with an incredible skill – blending seamlessly into their environment while they rest during daylight hours. So here we have it - an enchanting glimpse into nature’s hidden wonders! Let us marvel at how this sleepy nightjar becomes one with the desert, reminding us that even amidst life’s hustle and bustle, there is always time for some much-needed shut-eye.
