形态特征：
埃及夜鹰上体淡灰色、皮黄灰色或沙赭色。头顶和背具细的暗色条纹，到翅和肩条纹变得较粗著。初级飞羽暗褐色，飞羽内侧具大的不甚明显的白色斑，尾具粗著而宽阔的褐色横斑。最外侧一对尾羽尖端具不显著的赭白色斑。喉具两块大型白斑；胸和腹具显著的褐色细横斑。虹膜褐色，嘴角褐色。The variegated plumage is much paler than the European nightjar. The adul t is sand-colours, barred and streaked with buff and brown. The under parts are sandy or whitish. It is smaller, but relatively longer-winged and longer-tailed than the more widespread species. Like other nightjars, it has a wide gape, long wings, soft downy plumage and nocturnal habits. The male has tiny white wing spots. The length is 25 cm, and the wingspan 55 cm. Its call is a repetitive mechanical kroo-kroo-kroo…, which rises and falls as the bird turns its head from side to side

生活习性：
埃及夜鹰是夜行性鸟类，主要在黄昏和夜晚活动，白天多蹲侠在地上或灌木下阴影处休息。黄昏时频繁的在地上或水面飞行和猎食。飞行快而迅速，通常紧贴地面或水面低飞。叫声为单音节，鸣叫时不断重复，其声似"Kre-kre-kre"或"Korr-korr--korr"声。主要以昆虫和昆虫幼虫为食。觅食方式主要通过低空飞行，在飞行中猎食，有时也在地上或水面猎食。The Egyptian nightjar is native to northern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East. Its range includes Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Chad, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Sudan, Sudan, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and Yemen. It is a rare visitor to Europe, and has occurred as a vagrant in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Malta, Sweden and the United Kingdom.[1] Its typical habitat is open desert with a few scattered trees or bushes. It is often found near water in areas with sparse vegetation and scrub. Over-wintering birds in Sudan can be found in areas with long grass.[4]

生长繁殖：
繁殖期在5-7月。通常不筑巢，直接产卵于沙土地上浅坑或凹处，有的直接暴露于太阳下，四周无任何隐蔽物，有的产卵于灌木旁地上，借助灌木隐蔽。巢通常距水边不远。每窝产卵2枚。卵灰赭色，被有不清晰的锈褐色斑。卵的大小为31.3-33.0×21.0-22.9毫米。第一枚卵产出后即开始孵卵。孵卵由雌雄亲鸟共同承担。孵化期17-18天。雏鸟晚成性。大约经过亲鸟30天左右的喂养。幼鸟才能飞翔
