The European Nightjar as per Robert's VII used to be known as the Eurasian Nightjar in Robert's VI. (Caprimulgus europaeus). The sound is somewhat similar to that of the Square-tailed Nightjar (Caprimulgus fossii). They are two different variations on the prrr-rrrr theme (With thanks to my 6 kg Robert's book .... __________________

I have just heard the sound of Mozambique nightjar from a cd ...........monotonus prrrrrrrrrr
That sound right for the Mozam... oops... Square-tailed nightjar but I have never, knowingly, heard the eurasian. Maybe Ranger Pete, or Landi have? __________________

To add to the name confusion, the Mozambique Nightjarhas been renamed Square-tailed Nightjar since Robert's VII was published __________________

The nightjars that most commonly occur in the Sabi Sands are: European I have heard both the Fierynecked and the Mozambiquan but not the European as yet. What did the call sound like? __________________
