The mysterious nightjar is among the species being tracked as part of the largest survey of heathland birds for more than 20 years.

The study, organised by the British Trust for Ornithology, will also focus on woodlarks and Dartford warblers.

The nightjar, which is surrounded by myth and folklore, journeys to the UK to breed, before flying back to the Democratic Republic of Congo at the end of the summer.

Went on a nightjar walk last night and watched two get ringed, amazing birds.
