Caspian Tern, Willen Lake, Bucks, May 2001 © Paul Hackett caspian tern
Nightjar, a rarity in Warwickshire and also difficult to photograph in the daytime, this European Nightjar was photographed from a private garden in Long Lawford Warwickshire on 12/05/01 with a Nikon coolpix 990 and Leica APO scope. Unfortunately it flew off into a private field with cattle so only a few people got to see it.
