While some species have developed spectacular tails and wing adornments, the majority are fairly uniform in appearance; subtle browns, oranges and greys make them masters of camouflage among the leaf-litter where they generally nest and roost in the daytime, with these colour schemes providing birders with a stern identification challenge in the field. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe culmination of more than 50 years of study by the world's leading expert on these birds, Nigel Cleere, \u003ci\u003eNightjars of the World\u003c\/i\u003e features detailed text covering their taxonomy, physiology, plumage and moult, foraging, migration and breeding biology. The species accounts are accompanied by accurate distribution maps, and a comprehensive photographic selection encompasses as much subspecific, sexual and age-related variation as possible. A series of illustrated plates by Dave Nurney depicts every species in exceptional detail. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeticulously researched, this book represents the ultimate resource on nightjars and their relationships, appearance, identification and biology, bringing these beautiful night-birds out of the dark and into the spotlight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Helm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472913487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512","brand":"Nigel Cleere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435515408565,"sku":"9781472913487","price":80.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b300c4b6-330f-468c-aa4f-a779158a0cfe.jpg?v=1776226972","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/nightjars-of-the-world-9781472913487","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
