It has just occurred to me that a few weeks ago while I was riding over the mountain road towards home, I was followed for a short while by a bird with a rather strange yet very distinctive call, anyway I was wracking my brains trying to match the call to the image I had in my head, I couldn't see the bird as it was getting on for 7pm and pitch black, anyway the only one that kept coming to mind was a Nightjar, which is ok except, they don't usually get to the UK until April, so March 11th is a bit out. I don't think you can mistake the call for anything else, unless you know different https://xeno-canto.org/359355 and when you're on the mountain in the dark that noise certainly makes you pick up the pace a bit sharpish
