Nightjar

For three consecutive night I tried to catch this bird, but failed.
Tonight I was lucky. I got five shots of this 'burung tukang' before it flew away.
Perched on the wire cable very near my car porch. Very loud 'chonk, chonk, chonk' sound.
The problems was, very difficult to focus in the dark.
