Churlwood, Ashdown Forest
I was absolutely delighted to find nightjars at Churlwood tonight. For the fourth year running they have graced my patch. On such a clear night, the views were terrific.
- The male started churring around 21.20 in the wooded car park area and soon after I got my first of several excellent views as he flew by me. It was not too long before the female joined in and I witnessed wing clapping etc.
- The female landed in the tree next to where I was and I enjoyed watching her at close quarters before she was lured away by the churring male.
Awe and wonder time!
