Hi dj. Don't believe I had the pleasure of welcoming you yet. So a big HI!

It sounds as though you had a good day back in March but this would probably get more exposure if you placed it in the "All Things Birding" forum here.

Hi dj - sounds like a good evening. Remember the first (and only so far) time I saw Nightjars - amazing.

Duh! I even looked at the calendar and March 7th was on a Sunday and July 3 was Saturday so I went with what was obvious to me.

It's always a pleasure to see a nightjar because they're more easily heard than seen. Recently I was greeted with a nightjar perching near by backyard, and I was fortunate to see it fly as well. I dont know if the nightjars are the same in England as they are here in the United States but it's still a sight to see. Happy birding.
