Q. What are 'Nightjars', recently seen in news?
Answer:
They are medium sized nocturnal insectivorous birds
Notes: A new nightjar species, Caprimulgus ritae, has been discovered in the tropical forests of Timor and Wetar, Lesser Sunda Islands. Nightjars are medium-sized, nocturnal, insectivorous birds in the Caprimulgidae family, found globally except in Antarctica and some island groups like the Seychelles. They feature long wings, short legs, and short bills. Their mottled plumage provides excellent camouflage, and they feed on flying insects at night.
