Nightjars

Just back from a little adventure on The Foel where we had three sightings of Nightjar.
The first one flew past no more than 10 meters away.  Then a few minutes later one landed on a telegraph wire about 20 meters away and commenced churring.  After it flew off we heard it, or another individual a little further on, so we followed the noise.  We found it quite easily and watched it for about 5 minutes before it too flew off.  
Then it was time for bed.
