I know completely OOF! Was out mooching around this afternoon looking for Lizards when my boot must have been on top of this one before it took flight. I don't know who was more startled me or the nightjar, This is their tact, they sit tight until the very last moment. I managed to grab this shot in the spur of the moment before it disappeared over the ridge , they are a notoriously difficult birds to photograph at the best of times - however a good record shot.
