What a night.

A late evening trip up the A11 to the Brecks for our annual look for Nightjars. We arrive at the lay by around 9pm & take the short walk down the track to our favourite spot to wait for the churring call.
We don't have to wait long before we get some brief churring at 9. 20pm. We are lucky to have a full moon so plenty of light.
Woodcock had already been seen & Owls were heard & some large Bats add to the eerie feeling.
Ten minutes later a male & female Nightjar show right in front of us & as the night closed in we see plenty more & the churring was heard really loud all around the clearing.
The tree only feet away from us was a favourite spot to see a few land & show well, we are now hearing the wing clapping all around us.
This is the best experience  we have all had while visiting this place.

Nightjar from a couple of years ago.
