Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mick Sway" data-source="post: 1827964" data-attributes="member: 15566">Nightjar PhotoHi SandraIt was lovely to see you both again, Tina and I enjoyed our chat at Eresos.We have both got over the incident near Andissa we talked about.Can't take credit for the Nightjar I'm afraid.It was a case of right place right time, on May 12 (for a change).Two guys* had flushed it from the side of the road at Sigri(about 200m south of the Spur Winged plover "dung heap"). By this time our Anaxos Hotel neighbor John from Liverpool arrived on the scene and I understand that they tracked it to a fig tree some 25m away, in a fenced enclosure.Fortunately we and another small group or birders came by as they were observing it.At this point it started it churring.Like Steve I'd always wanted to see one roosting in day light.It was a lovely experience that we'll never forget.Best wishes to Bob - we hope that he continues to improve.BestMick & Tina*both nice fellas who we were very greatful to - i recall one said that he was from NorfolkP.S. thanks for the input MarkNice to hear that things were still coming through after the first two weeks:t:</blockquote>
