reisikorkuiset

Reisikorkuiset, also known as the European nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus), is a small, nocturnal bird species native to Europe and parts of Asia. It is characterized by its long, pointed wings and a distinctive, forked tail. The European nightjar is known for its unique courtship display, where the male performs a series of aerial maneuvers while calling to attract a mate.

These birds are primarily insectivorous, feeding on a variety of insects such as beetles, moths, and grasshoppers. They are often found in open habitats such as grasslands, meadows, and agricultural fields, where they roost during the day in dense vegetation or burrows. The European nightjar is a migratory species, with populations from northern Europe moving south for the winter.

The species has a wide distribution across Europe, with populations found in most countries. However, its numbers have declined in recent decades due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and restore suitable habitats for the European nightjar, ensuring the continued survival of this fascinating nocturnal bird.
