Nightjars

A magical evening with Brian Southern at Ty Rhyg watching Nightjars.  Way before dusk a female flushed from beside a track, the first female either of us has seen here.  A male showed well (without churring) at the same spot just before 10pm.  About 20 minutes later we heard 2 males churring at a different spot, and 1 of these birds finished off the show with some wing clapping.  Simply magical stuff.  Video below is of a churring male, sound up!
