Amazing how you actually found them! Great shot. I posted a picture of an adult a while back. Incredible bird to be able to find.

OMG!!! That really is a dangerous place to be, isn't it.

How cute this wee one is Ads, think it's headed for The Opus lad. Thanks so much for sharing it.

A fabulous picture that.

A most wonderful photo it is! I sure hope it made it.

It was used today, 10 February 2021, to help illustrate the White-tailed Nightjar article in Opus.

Thank you very much for sharing it. It is appreciated very much!
