Several hardy volunteers had a nightjar Walk on Dersingham Bog, led by Tom and Matt from Natural England.
This was in return for the work the group had carried out there over the year.
With dusk barely starting the first “Chirring” of a nightjar was heard and was quite persistent throughout the walk.
Clearly a male trying to attract a female, although later with competition from other males.
Also seen and heard were a Cuckoo, Grasshopper Warbler, Barn Owl, Snipe, Woodcock, Lapwing and the bark of a Muntjac in the distance.
Eventually, at the furthest point of the walk we were just able to see 3 nightjars flying around before darkness came down.
