06/06/2016 Nightjars again!

Monday 6 June 2016
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!
