I'm Watching You!

 We spotted this little creature last year and were delighted when he/she appeared again this year. When we first saw it, with just a little head visible at the entrance to the nest box, we wondered if it was some sort of small mammal.
                  Then, as the light moved around we could see it wasn't, but what was it?
                                       It was a little bird, an Owlet Nightjar to be precise.
             It's a tiny little thing, especially as we can't see the rest of the body and the longish tail.
                                                              Welcome back little bird!
