A night with nightjarrecord and some ageing.

Yesterday it was a perfect night for nightjaring. Calm, varm and some clouds do the night perfect to catch nightjars. And it starts very good early in the evening with 3 nightjars before midnight and after midnight 6 more. Totaly 9 nightjars in one night do this night to my best ever and I had much work until the dawn to drive to different place and put up my mistnet in good places.
One of the birds was an old friend from 2010 and I have recover him before over the years. When I ringed him he was a 2:d year bird or older and now hi is over seven year old.
