A nice moment yesterday whist out walking the dogs by the tracks yesterday - we flushed a Lesser Nighthawk from the ground. The bird flew around for a bit flashing it's white wing patches, before settling down on the ground nearby.
Nighthawks often roost on the ground. Their camouflage prevents detection from predators. If I hadn't seen this one land, I wouldn't have had a chance of finding it!
