Spinner, after those working at #BaltiManufaktuur (see #Manufaktuuri and #Kangru). But also, for those fascinated with the truly trivial or relatively irrelevant, a dialectical name for #öösorr, the #EuropeanNightjar, Caprimulgus europaeus.

✨ Meet the European Nightjar (Buqrajq), a bird straight out of a fantasy story! 🌌
With dragon-like looks, camouflaged feathers and a huge mouth perfect for catching insects, this nocturnal traveller is full of surprises.
In Malta, we spot it only during migration in spring and autumn. 🐉🦉
