It looks similar to an owl. Fantastic shot. You must have positioned yourself no more than 10 meters. Well done.Edwin. Mabuhay.

Wakened eyes that are still in dreamland, well set whiskers and beautiful layers of perfectly cut feathers + the kiss of the morning sun... Ole! The best capture of the nightjar for me in this forum, with the great morning mood. I miss Singapore! Thanks for sharing, Ed. telyds

Wow, surreal. Nice work Edwin!
Do they tend to flee or are they one of the more relaxed species?
