Observation of nest visitation by multiple males in the European Nightjar Caprimulgus europeaus. Issue 3 (3rd July 2019) - Padget, O.
ABSTRACT: We report observations of nest visitation of multiple males to three nests of European Nightjars Caprimulgus europeaus . In one case, we report the direct observation of two males apparently exhibiting parental behaviour at the same nest. In two other cases, second males visited nests. We consider the potential functions of nest visits by extra-pair males in the Nightjar.
