The Ultimate Challenge

There is no doubt that the ultimate challenge for any wildlife photographer in the Pennines is to find and photograph the Nightjar.In more than 60 years of searching I have only seen three nests but last week I was able to add a fourth to the list. Even more challenging was the fact that the female Nightjar was brooding a young that was almost her size and equally as camouflaged. I was able to approach them both for photos and now realise why it is years since I was in this privileged position which I might never experience again. www.facebook.com/gordonyateswildlife
