COMMON NIGHTJAR!!!!

Finally a good view of a Common Nightjar. On Friday night on the way home we saw a Common Nightjar sat on the road in front of the car. Of course we had no camera with us. Last night we were invited to visit friends who knew where a Common Nightjar had nested and had at least one chick. It took a while scanning the ground where it had been seen last. The Nightjar had moved and was spotted eventually under the shade of a small bush. Here are some of the photos taken. If you look closely you can see the chick.
