A pair of European Nightjars has bred in Aberdeenshire, with the chicks the first to be hatched in the county for nearly 100 years.

Posting on X on 20 June, Alan Knox stated that the youngsters were the "furthest north in Britain for decades", as well as being the first in Aberdeenshire for nearly a century.

He also commented that a nest with eggs was recorded in 2023.
