We left home just after 8 pm & head to the Brecks in Suffolk to wait for the Nightjars to start churring & as we head into the clearing we get to hear them just before 10 pm that is the earliest that we have heard them here probably because we had a nice big full moon on a clear night.
Once they started calling we could hear them all over the place & we get a quick couple of flight views before the wing clapping sound starts.
On walking about we get near to some more churring when on two occasions a Nightjar flies up over our heads to give us a great couple of flight views.
While here the Tawny Owls get into full voice to give Jimmy & I a 2nd year tick for the evening.
Back home just after midnight so nice & easy.
Brian & Jimmy are heading off to Oare Marsh in the morning for the Bonaparte's Gull but I have the Hampton Court Palace flower show to attend with Jean so will have to catch up with the Bonaparte's at a later date.
The first time that we have been to this flower show but will be going back again as it was most enjoyable place to be.
