If you go by the descriptions that Nick has stated it isn't.
It is all very well agreeing with a possible ID on a bird but you have to look how that bird sounds and how it flies. Nicks descriptions are way off the mark for a Nightjar. They don't have a shrill call and they don't fly with a direct flight.
