The fiery-necked nightjar (Caprimulgus pectoralis) is a species of nightjar in the family Caprimulgidae,[2] which is found mostly in Africa south of the equator, though it has been spotted in a few countries north of the equator.[3] It is most often found in woodland savannas or other deciduous woodlands.[3] It is usually distinguished by its tawny coloured collar which gives the species its common name.[3] It has a distinctive call that many have rendered as 'good-lord-deliver-us'.[3] The fiery-necked nightjar is an insectivorous species that mostly eats butterflies, moths and other insects.[3] The fiery-necked nightjar breeds after the dry season and typically produce two clutches with two eggs per clutch.[4][5]
