03/06/2016 Nightjars on Ashdown Forest

Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd July 2016  
Hindleap, Ashdown Forest
8.45 pm to 10.00pm

Two contrasting experiences on successive nights at Hindleap.  On Thursday, with cold northerly winds, we only had a fleeting view of a male nightjar, near Brian and June's seat, whereas on Friday, in much milder, wind-free conditions  we also saw a pair in the usual area at the top of the hill and the views were superb.

On both occasions roding woodcock were seen at regular intervals after 9 p.m.
