Description:

Description: Caprimulgus rufigena Afrikaans: 'n Rooiwangnaguil van die nominaatras roep net na sononder op 'n grondpad in oop grasveld naby Bellarygasteplaas wes van Vredefort in die noord-Vrystaat. Die eentonige, langasem-gespin word deur 'n paar "tjewoek"-note voorafgegaan en afgewissel, wat hier net na die einde hoorbaar is. Hadedas en gewone tarentale is op die agtergrond hoorbaar, benewens motorverkeer. English: Rufous-cheeked nightjar (Caprimulgus rufigena rufigena) calling after sunset, 18:45, from a dirt road in open grassland near Bellary guest farm west of Vredefort, northern Free State, South Africa. The monotonous churring is preceded and interspersed by some "chewook" notes, the first of which I missed in this recording. Hadeda ibises and helmeted guineafowl are audible in the background, besides car traffic. Date: 3 October 2017, 18:45. Source: Own work. Author: JMK.
