A little later in the month this year in the hope of a warmer evening. We will meet at 20.30 hrs at the CP at Challock to see if we can hear and see Nightjars.
We often have quite a wait for the birds to perform and it's usually getting dark before we see or hear much, so remember to bring warm clothes, a torch and insect repellent just in case.
Meet at the main forest car park off White Hill Road, Challock.
If you are intending to come please let me know up to a day or so beforehand or contact me for further details andrew_lapworth@hotmail.com
