European Nightjar
I have always hoped one day I would see a nightjar, they're such incredible birds and I've seen them... well heard them off in the distance churring away at Sherwood Forest and silhouetted high in the dusk sky. I never thought I'd see one up close but hoped maybe to see them clear in the distance.
The other day this stunning little guy was just napping in the middle of the day (jealous) on a fence post just on the side of the path literally 5 minutes from my house
I'm so happy to have been able to get a few photos
