The BTO is asking birders to log European Nightjar sightings this summer as part of a national survey of the nocturnal species.

For many, nightjar is easier to see than ever, following a promising recovery in both population and distribution in recent years. In 2021, numbers across RSPB reserves hit a record high and, last year, chicks hatched in Aberdeenshire for the first time in 100 years.

A survey was conducted in Ireland last year, where the continued presence of the country's small population was confirmed.
