• Story of the image

  The Long-tailed Nightjar is a cryptic bird which lives mostly by night. During the day, it spends most of its time resting among dead leaves on the ground,
  I tried to find out the species from my nearby bamboo garden. Spot the bird after one week search and planned to photograph it. I use Nikon D850 and Tamron 15-30 with remote shutter. The bird usually sat on the same spot after returning. I work for 10 days and finally got few images where the habitat of this strange bird was there.
