European nightjar, Eurasian nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus)

Description
English: Nightjar
Српски / srpski: Leganj
Opis vrste
D.t. 24-28 cm. Gnezdeći areal obuhvata gotovo celu Evropu (osim krajnjeg severa kontinenta), širok pojas Centralne Azije, Bliskog Istoka, Male Azije i severozapadnu Afiku. Selica je. Zimuje u podsaharskoj Africi (uglavnom u istočnim i južnim delovima). Staništa su mu otvorene šume i mozaični tereni, naročito šumski proplanci i čistine (razređene ili degradirane borove šume, zasadi drveća, šumske progale i sl). Gnezda gradi na tlu. Hrani se krupnijim insektima koje tokom noći lovi u letu. U Srbiji je redovna gnezdarica, prisutna uglavnom u pobrđu i planinama. Gnezdeća populacija u Srbiji se procenjuje na 3.500 - 5.000 parova (Puzović et al 2009).

The European nightjar, Eurasian nightjar or just nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus) is a crepuscular and nocturnal bird in the nightjar family that breeds across most of Europe and temperate Asia. The Latin generic name refers to the old myth that the nocturnal nightjar suckled goats, causing them to cease to give milk.
