sleepless Willy Wagtail?

Hi all
 
I spent the weekend at Camp Cottermouth, the Scouts camp site. Most of the nights on Fri and Sat a Willy Wagtail was singing. It was only quiet for a couple of hours, but I didn't look on my watch to check the times.
 
I have done plenty of camping, but never heard Willy Wagtails throughout the night.
Could this have been because of the (very bright) full moon or because it's spring?
(Or maybe it's absolutely normal, and Willy Wagtails and I have coincidently never spend the nights together, the chances of which would be very slim.)
 
Cheers,
 
Susanne
