This print showcases a historical artwork of a nightjar, beautifully captured in the midst of catching an insect in flight. The nightjar, scientifically known as Caprimulgus europaeus, is renowned for its hunting prowess during dusk or dawn, primarily targeting moths and beetles. Found across Eurasia and Africa, this elusive bird inhabits open ground and sparse woodland areas. During daylight hours, it cleverly conceals itself among bushes with its remarkable camouflage abilities. With a potential length of up to 30 centimeters, the nightjar is truly a fascinating creature.
