Observation details
Large, dark nightjars. Distinctive bubbling call. At least 2 (revised from 1 based off Chris and James' submission) hawking near the track about 300 metres from the gate at 7:40, making 2 or 3 gliding passes over a few minutes. A third was seen flying low across the track under torchlight about 1 kilometre from the gate, showing the red eyeshine. Two birds also heard calling in the far distance, one at 7:36 and another at 8:41. Terrible record shot to come.
