Did you spot it here?
"Find the nightjar" It's almost that time of year again when I drive myself mad looking for Nightjars on the ground. Here's a photo of one grounded. Good luck! pic.twitter.com/7tk34QLd30

I didn’t, despite Matthew saying it was “easy”. So I got him to circle it, and here’s the answer:
Yeah… Matthew was right. Easy one (for a nightjar).
But then we have had lots of practice at nightjars.
Good grief … I still can’t see it!
Yeah, me neither. But it’s no longer April 1st, so I assume it’s really where they say it is.
I have a confession. I usually don’t click on the “Find the X” posts. They’re too hard. I wait for the “Here’s the X” post. 🙂
I have to concede that I am no good at these things. I can’t make out the nightjar even after having it pointed out AND googling for nightjar images to find out what I am looking for.
It looks like a pile of leaves with whiskers . . . in other words, impossible to see.
Oh! I never get these right! LOL.
I don’t believe it. It’s not there.
Finally, I saw it! Just the head, almost dead center in the red circled area. You can just barely make out a bit of the half-closed black eye.
I think I see the tail touching the red outline at the upper-right but when I trace it back the body and head seem to dissolve into a muddy mess. This would all be much easier with a sharper image.
That helped. I found the eye. If this is easy……
Eventually I saw it. Red circle is much too big on the left. That is one well hidden bird!
That was a toughie. Congratulations mister dude or dudette nightjar.
I noticed the Tw**ter tagged the tw**t of this post as sensitive material. Clearly nightjars are the most sensitive of all topics!
