Hindleap, Ashdown Forest
My first trip of 2021, down to Brian and Jayne's seat at Hindleap in the Ashdown Forest to look for any returning Nightjars. It was a lovely clear night so the conditions were ideal.
- Just before 9 p.m. I heard the first "churring" and a few minutes later a cracking male took to the air, flying low over the vegetation just below me.
- A few minutes earlier there was the welcome sight of a roding Woodcock just above the treeline.
Another good season for Nightjars and Woodcock? I think so.
