Media notes
Roosting place. Remarks: We have had this house guest for the past 1yr and 9 months that has delighted us and friends/visitors, especially non-bird watchers. Since our urban garden is intentionally kept wild, it attracts many other animals and birds. In the past 2 months, neighbourhood cats have started using our garden as a walk-way. This is because our adopted stray dog has been aging and is less alert. This has become a major threat to the Large-tailed Nightjar who has had to vacate our garden intermittently. We have decided to net off some of the access points to the garden used by the cats. In addition, in the past week, we have worked with our local hardware shop to build a custom-made nightjar platform for the bird. The bird already has a good perch, a tree stump which we created. But this is insufficient for its daytime activities. The post shows our friend, the male Large-tailed Nightjar, using the custom-made nightjar platform after a very wet night. -Amar.
