Took this image a week or so later.... after the downpours......

| Jar nest with 2 floating.... |
Watched these marvelous creatures at 3 NE locations during 2011, although the year ended, as we can see on a rather damp note.....
Looking forward to spending more time in their company in 2012.

Never had the pleasure of seeing a Nightjar, but did see some Nighthawks in the states, similar I suppose?
quite similar i think Paul - have seen several images of N'hawks sitting openly.
Heres a USA N'hawk that was in our neck of the woods last year:-

Ive come across 3 Nightjars on passage over the years...Who knows what we might bump into....
Like Paul, (and many other birders, I suspect!) I've never seen a Nightjar either, and would love to. So sad to see the failure of the nest. Keep up the good work!
