An excellent spotting, Ranjit, and you found some eggs too. Awesome! Great photos of this wonderful bird. It's amazing to see how well camouflaged they are with the surrounding rocks. Here's a wiki link you may wish to add as it provides some info on the species itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_nightjar
