Churlwood Car park in Ashdown Forest
Around Dusk
I saw my first Nightjar of 2015 at my patch - Churlwood in the Ashdown Forest. Around 8.40 p.m. I saw my only Woodcock of the night, followed 30 minutes later by the Nightjar. 10 minutes later I saw it again.
On both occasions I was alerted to it's presence by it's unique flight call. It was probably a female as there was no churring at all.
My favourite bird so now my summer has really started.
