Stone Curlews and Nightjar

This is a rather better photo of a stone curlew than the ones that I usually take and it's here by permission of Creative Commons.
There were two pairs of these on the plains yesterday ---- or possibly just a single pair which surreptitiously moved to a second field without my noticing them. I first saw them close to eolien 4 so the new giants are seemingly not disturbing them.
Melodious warblers were particularly common yesterday with singing birds in double figures during the course of a three hour walk.
I heard the churring of my first nightjar in La foret de Belaire at the unlikely time of 5pm .
