The Egyptian Nightjar, a rare bird species, has been spotted again in the Wadi Wurayah Reserve in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. This sighting comes five years after the last recorded appearance in 2021. The Fujairah Environment Authority team recognized the bird during their recent visit thanks to a long-term ringing and monitoring program.
The Wadi Wurayah Reserve is known for its rich biodiversity and efforts to protect endangered species. The return of the Egyptian Nightjar is a positive sign for conservationists, indicating that the reserve continues to be a suitable habitat for this elusive bird. The ringing program allows researchers to:
- Track individual birds
- Study their behavior
