Nightjars and Woodcock in Ashdown Forest

 I made 3 visits to the forest and recorded my first nightjar and woodcock sightings of the year.


Saturday 13th May 2023 Hindleap

I had a brief but excellent view of a flying nightjar at around 9.05 pm after some loud churring.  Alas no woodcock.


Sunday 14th May 2023 Old Lodge.

This time a churring nightjar and 2 good sightings of roding woodcock.


Thursday 18th May 2023  Goat

This time I went with Martin and Alison to our favourite spot.  Excellent, but brief views of the flying nightjar.



Safe to say the nightjars are back safely on the forest!



 2023 species count = 170
