Flying Nightjar

Sitting out at home in San Miquel yesterday evening in a failing light I looked up and saw flying between a gap in the buildings and right in front of me was a Nightjar. The long wings and tail were very evident although there was not sufficient light to show any markings. It is more than possible that this was a red-necked one as I have heard them calling before. It was the clearest uninterrupted flying view I have ever had of this species. On occasions we have seen owls - presumably - Long-eared ones with Little Owls regularly seen and heard. It cheered me up a rad after Brexit!
