The 2025/2026 Aurora Borealis season is official started where I live (Sweden). It was pale since the nights are not fully dark yet and there was a full moon. But who cares, I am so happy now. And on my way home I managed to take an image of the Nightjar bird 💚 💜

An image over a field at night with a dark silhouette of the forest at the horizon and to the low right half a couple of silage bales. In the sky some stars and a pale aurora boralis with both the green just above the tree tops, and one third up. Above the green a couple of lilac pilars of aurora at the center of the image. The silage bales are lit up by the full moon behind the camera.

An image of the blue fullmoon with a back sourrounding. The moons pattern is clearly visible a bit above and to the left of the center of the photo.

A small road at night, lit up by the headlight of a car. At the right side some green grass and withered yellow straws of grass at the right edge of the image. At the low left a bird is sitting on the asphalt in front of the car. It is brown with darker stripes and some white spots on its wings.
