I love this nocturnal predator

I love this nocturnal predator.
When I first met him in the forest, when I was still a child, I got scared of a nightjar starting with a wild roar))) I sat down to rest on a fallen pine tree, and this creature was sitting next to me a meter away - and I did not see it. And then, a few minutes later, he took off with a whistle, screams and Polovtsian dances))) It was very sudden)))
But the bird is still very funny.
