Anybody able to identify this bird, or rather the sound of it? I hear it in the summer, at dusk in the meadow.It makes a low whirring or vibrating sound. I'm not sure if that is the sound of it flying or its actual call. I had thought it was the nightjar but I listened on http://www.rspb.org.uk and it is not that. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks
