Beautiful female, Rutland's CJ7:
The hoped-for partner for CJ7, local male LS7, has not yet appeared. CJ has been tending the nest daily and yesterday she took everyone by surprise, producing an egg - which took us by surprise by surviving... until midnight at least ;)

Exciting but so disappointing that it didn't make its way over to CJ's nest. (I expect if they'd said the gender you'd have included that, SHEILA :) )
Last sighting of CJ yesterday:
And please don't laugh at my inexpert ID but I do believe we had a NIGHTJAR on the perch just after 04:00 this morning
It just sat there for 8 minutes, hardly moving a muscle:

I'll get there, Alison, but have been overcome with excitement due to early-morn visitor
No problem, scylla! She was making some nice grunting noises for you...
EDIT: I've just seen your Nightjar. Brilliant spot!
Mike B said:Definitely a nightjar.
Thank you, MIKE !!! I've never seen one except in the odd photo in passing.
