This evening I helped lead a Nightjar walk on my local patch. It was a bit windy and I thought this might put the birds off a bit, but thankfully it didn't and we had fantastic views of the birds flying around above our heads, as well as hearing at least 4 males churring, with some wing-clapping and lots of contact calls as well.
It was a lovely evening, nice and warm too and because of the wind, the midges and mosquitos were kept at bay which made a nice change! Everyone on the walk seemed to enjoy themselves and it was nice chatting to everyone - I'm just so relieved that the birds performed for us!
