Lyre-tailed Nightjar, Manu Road, Peru

 

 

The amazing lyre-tailed nightjar has a tail over 3 times his body length. He is a rare sight but our guide Virgilio Yabar knows where he hunts at dusk. Here is a shot at high iso and natural light. This is a high resolution image of the same shot:   (Hi-Res). Here is a shot with the spotlight on him   (Click)   (Hi-Res). At the entrance to the Cock of the Rock lek we saw the female with a chick. They do not have the long tails   (Click).
