Defintely. Used to do a lot of upland bird hunting as a kid and I was amazed how many birds we saw on the ground trying to hide after the first big snow of the year; the birds had not adjusted their strategy yet for staying hidden.

Nearly stood on this one but it stayed put. When one nearly stands on a cock pheasant it bursts out of the undergrowth with such alacrity and noise to almost stop your heart!

Posted this way back in the Owl thread but I think it's a pretty good job of being camouflaged.

Nightjar, Caprimulgus europaeus
It has to be one of my favourite birds. They arrive quite late in May and I then spend hours in the twilight and dark watching and listening to them. I follow this in the daylight to try and get some shots. The first two here are a cock bird resting on a log, the other three are a hen sitting on eggs.View attachment 9644View attachment 9645View attachment 9646View attachment 9647View attachment 9648

Wow Gongster, great capture.
I’ve never even seen a Nightjar let alone get a shot of one.
Well done mate.đź‘Ź

I've posted the Spotted Sandgrouse, Pterocles senegallus before, but couldn't resist putting these chicks in this thread.

Also, the Greenshank, Tringa nebularia fits in this thread nicely.
