Перевод: goatsucker
[существительное] козодой [зоол.]
Тезаурус:
- On 14 February he named two new species of goatsucker, a new species of kingfisher, and two new swallows, one of which, (Hirundo concolor) came from the Galapagos.
- His letter contained an account of all the birds he had seen: a common goatsucker that flew gracefully round and round the ship for an hour, although it had "in all probability passed the night on the wing"; a female yellow wagtail that alighted only for a moment; numerous petrels, five of which he killed for himself, and one for use in Mr Yarrell's work (a History of British Birds); a flight of swallows, and several small turtle doves, which "visited the ship and went off again immediately"; a kestrel which was killed "from off the Rigging"; a short-eared owl which flew on board during the night, was caught and kept alive for several days; and hundreds of shearwaters, which surrounded the ship off Madeira and the Salvage Rocks.
