European Nightjar

Outskirts of Exmouth, Devon 

I have been desperate to look for European Nightjars but this awful weather has got in the way. One of my daughters loves to see these with me so as she is now off school, we popped out to look for this awesome species. We didn't have to wait too long and a cracking Male flew from Gorse a few metres from where we were patiently waiting. A few moments later a few individuals started to sing and we eventually got flight views of 2 Females. Going on calls, I would say there was around 6 individuals on site. We both headed off very happy to have seen them and to know there are a few individuals back on territory.
