I know that many recordings of background noise are obtained from library sounds. A friend in tv told me why they do this but I can’t for the life of me remember the reason.
It’s why winter scenes have Common Swift screaming past and other out of season sounds.
It may be just a recording marked “Spain” and therefore was from another time and place.
As Pep says, Red-necked nightjar are very scarce here, I have been to many suitable sites throughout the migration times but never heard one.
There are a handful of records from the islands like Cabrera but I don’t recall a mainland Mallorca record.

The recent first series of “The Mallorca Files” (a diverting watch if you have the time) has bee-eaters calling in just about every outdoor scene!
