Female Nightjar with Chick
Its been wonderful to watch this female Nightjar over the last few weeks .Having laid 2 eggs over 3 weeks ago the nightjar now has a single chick.It seems one of the eggs may not have htched.
The chick is now several days old and it will be another few weeks before it will be independent.I feel privileged to watch and photograph these enigmatic birds and to witness something that most people will never see.
Taken in Devon
