Nightjars and a Goshawk

 Chris Bird was near Llangwyryfon this afternoon, shortly after setting off for Aberystwyth when he witnessed a male Goshawk stooping at  a Buzzard.  The Buzzard dropped towards the ground to avoid the attack and the Gos continued on its way.

Last night Chris visited an area of forestry near Joppa. He noted a bigger area of clear fell since last year and on arrival could hear a distant churring Nightjar.  Soon he was joined by two more which put on a display at close range, one even landing on the road  nearby.  Before leaving he added a fourth bird.
