Nightjars at Slaley :) decided to try my luck early with a trip to slaley for nightjars as its going to rain over the next week, i wasn't disappointed. 4-5 birds were displaying, churring and wing clapping right in front of me. What a show they put on, i also had 2 woodcock and a tawny owl fly over. Managed some film of the birds which you can hear the churring, wing clapping and calling, also a short bit footage where a bird is perched on a tree.

  1. Excellent stuff Stteven. I had never heard the wing clapping or calling before. Not sure about Simon King but Chris Watson would have been proud of you.
