Media notes

Remarks: Our resident/home-based Large-tailed Nightjar has been with us for 13 months now and we have numerous daily observations. We have great difficulty accessing and working in the part of the garden he has chosen as home but, on rare days when he is not around, we can get to quickly keep the area to his specifications. We suspect the rare disappearances are due to disturbance from a Common Treeshrew (Tupaia glis) that has been visiting. Recently we needed to remove a bush in the Nightjar's domain and we decided to leave behind a higher stump to allow it to perch, when necessary. He was very quick to use it the next day, possibly to stamp his claim on it; even though it brings him much closer to us. -Amar. Date added to OBI: September 12, 2018.
