That's a fantastic picture you've taken of this nightjar AB. What a great spot!!!

It's wonderful to see you posting again - I hope you've been keeping well through these last difficult months.

Thanks Delia, yes everything's fine, I've not been infected by this f...... virus. I've just been quite busy at work and I haven't shot any smashing photos. That's an old one from 2017 !!
