Long-tailed Nightjar

Bharatpur, Rajasthan, 1 Mar 2006

As soon as I took this shot, my guide got excited and wanted me to do something else. In the process this bird got disturbed and flew in straight towards me. It landed on my hair for a second and then flew off again into the nearby bushes. I still don't know why it decided to land on my head for that one second.
