In early September Kai-Uwe Denker encountered a male pennant-winged nightjar on a road on the outskirts of Usakos. He saw the bird clearly in the headlights of the car when he flushed it. There are a few records for this species in central Namibia (I know of at least one near the international airport) but this appears to be the westernmost record for central Namibia. Peter Bridgeford reported that the vulture ringing weekend (16 & 17/10/2010) in the Namib had been a resounding success with a record equaling 86 lappet-faced vulture chicks ringed for the season. This total was also achieved in 2007.
