If the comments are anything to go by, most of you found the killdeer. Here’s the evidence, including a nice picture, taken by Peter Green from another angle, which shows you quite how well camouflaged she was.
Peter Green’s full series of photos of the killdeer, including useful biological information, can be found here.
I FOUND THE KILLDEER!!! First time I’ve ever spotted one. I’m still 0 for nightjar, though.
Ah. I thought it was there but I was also considering something closer to the viewer.
I found it, but I cheated by blowing up the photo to full screen, so I’m not sure if it counts!
I spotted it within 2 secs. Don’t know why except for the stripey-ness. Nightjar puzzles are the hardest!
Yay I found the killdeer!
They should take lessons from the nightjars, I can never find those little fuckers. Although I must say this is a much more difficult environment to hide in than the nightjars generally pick.
