On a visit to Portland we came across this nightjar just sitting on a fence. The only thing that moved in five minutes was a feather when a breeze caught it, then the eye opened and closed like a shutter on a camera, slow and black. I know the photo and memory are from a while ago, but this bird made my holiday that year.

Wow Linda!! A bird I've always wanted to see (along with wryneck!). Superb spot and photo! Would have made my holiday too!

Oh yes great spot! I also want one :-)
For viewing or photography right place right time is everything. I'd rather be in the right place with poor kit than have the best kit and be in the wrong place.
