... The Pennant-winged Nightjar Caprimulgus vexillarius breeds across central, north-east and eastern Angola, southern DR Congo and south-western Tanzania south to north-east Namibia (Caprivi Strip), north-east Botswana and extreme north-east South Africa (Fry and Harwin 1988;Cleere 1998;Holyoak 2001;Cleere et al. 2021). Post-breeding the species moves north, and during the austral winter it occurs mainly from south-east Nigeria, east to north-east DR Congo and South Sudan, south to Uganda, north-west Tanzania and western Kenya (Fry and Harwin 1988;Cleere 1998;Holyoak 2001;Cleere et al. 2021). ...

... In contrast, Ludlow's specimen is still held in the Natural History Museum at Tring (NHMUK 1931.7.8.256). Christened in honour of its describer by Voous (1973), it has been almost universally referred to as Vaurie's Nightjar since, and due to the lack of subsequent encounters, the species has become one of the greatest mysteries in Asian ornithology, if not the world (Collar et al 2001, Leader 2009 er Vaurie's Nightjar really constitutes a valid species, for example by Cleere & Nurney (1998), Cleere (1999Cleere ( , 2010 and, separately, Leader (2009), our investigations commenced with renewed morphological comparisons which were conducted by Hadoram Shirihai and Guy Kirwan. Furthermore, with assistance from curators at NHMUK, toepad samples for genetic work were taken from the specimen and tested in two separate laboratories, at Alexander Koenig Research Museum, Bonn, Germany, and the Natural History Museum of Bern, Switzerland. ...
... Temminck 1826 of Subsaharan Africa. This attractive species has been poorly studied until recently (Jackson 2011), with few photographs and sound recordings (Cleere 1995; Jackson 2003). Because of its large range, it is not considered to be threatened (Birdlife International, 2016). ...
... The red-necked nightjar (henceforth "nightjar") is a longdistance migrant breeding in temperate regions of the Iberian Peninsula and northern Africa, whose numbers increase considerably from early spring (Aragon es, 2003;Camacho, 2013). Even though the exact range of its wintering grounds are not wellknown today, available observational data suggest Western Sahara as the main wintering region (Cleere et al., 2013). Its diet is mainly composed by nocturnal aerial insects, with moths (Noctuidae and Thaumetopoeidae families) representing the main prey species in Spain . ...
