Nightjar, Ty Rhyg

Nightjar, churring and wing clapping tonight in Ty Rhyg, with Paul G. This was third time lucky for me following a couple of failed visits last year. After quietly walking the tracks since sunset we eventually heard churring coming from the track immediately in front of us at approx 10pm. It then did a fly around, wing clapping and calling before dropping out of sight. Nice to catch up with a local bird after usually having to go over to Carmarthenshire. Also Grasshopper warbler and a ke-wik contact call of Tawny owl.
