(med) Nightjar or Goatsucker, Caprimulgus sp. (Drungtso 1999, PhrinLas 1987). bya wang sha, Goatsucker flesh (Phrin Las 1987).
In Tibet only the Grey Nightjar, Caprimulgus jotaka. For me bya glag. Hardly seen as nocturnal birds, but known by everybody due to their strange noises (David Holler, tibetbirds). Johannes Schmidt (talk) 20:52, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
