Old Airstrip, Ashdown Forest
In very overcast conditions, things started slowly at the old airstrip and it was well past 9.30 pm before we heard a nightjar churring and even then it was very brief.
- From previous visits we knew there was a pair at the far end of the airstrip (from Long CP) and we had brief glimpses again tonight.
- On the way back to the car we heard churring from the Vachery area but it was too dark by then to get a sighting. So it looks like there are at least 2 territories again, at opposite ends of the airstrip which augers well for the summer here.
- Woodcock sightings at this site are few and far between and tonight we didn't see any. That is why my own preference is to view from Hindleap where woodcock sightings are almost guaranteed.
