| Beautifully carved - this nightjar was understandably much admired |
A CARVED driftwood sculpture of a Nightjar attracted plenty of interest at an auction in Yorkshire.
It was expected to fetch between £100 and £150, but the bidding reached £380 before the hammer fell on the sleepy-eyed 36cm bird.
An even more spectacular saleroom performer was a glass-eyed carving of a Canada Goose which sold for £1,800 against a pre-sale guide price of between £200 and £300.
The items were among contents of Bell Hall in Naburn, near York, which were sold by auction house Tennants of Leyburn.
