Stunner of a nightjar

 He never fails to delight despite the countless times one can encounter him when he's in the taman, despite the easily hundreds of images one may have of him.

Its' the Large-tailed Nightjar (Caprimulgus macrurus), a gorgeous-looking nocturnal bird, whose night calls 'tok, tok, tok' are unmistakable if one were to walk by the taman at night.  This male is larger than the female who is "paler and greyer on upperparts and breast .. (has) Smaller buff-coloured wing patches. Duller buffy/whitish buff tail patches."

And that morning, he sat in all his glory, open and bold despite the few admirers about him, and from whichever angle, this stunner looks almost majestic.
