The scientific paper, entitled, "The discovery of a breeding population of Egyptian Nightjars
Caprimulgus aegyptius", by two leading local birdwatchers, Oscar Campbell and Mark Smiles, reports on the five years of fieldwork in the Ajban area.
While the majority of tick-host species associations reported in this study has been previously described in the literature (BARROS & BAGGIO, 1992; PEREIRA et al., 2000; ARZUA et al., 2005; LABRUNA et al., 2005, 2009; MARTINS et al., 2006; MARTINS et al., 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016; SARAIVA et al., 2012; LAVINA et al., 2015; TEIXEIRA et al., 2017), the present study records for the first time in Brazil, the parasitism of Amblyomma longirostre larva and nymph on Asio clamator, and nymphs on Megascops choliba and Pyroderus scutatus, in addition to a nymphal record of Amblyomma sculptum on

The results revealed that 90 per cent of whinchats (Saxicola rubetra), European nightjars (
Caprimulgus europaeus) and other rare birds nested in the border zone instead of adjacent farmland, proving the natural reserve's importance to species displaced by intensive agriculture.
