My 3rd attempt at a local site for Nightjars this evening and Kevin McManus and I were relieved to hear a bird churring briefly. The churring got more and more intense and at 8.50pm, while it was still very light the NIGHTJAR flew out of the scrub and directly past us, offering brief but excellent views!
This is a very difficult bird to see in the London area and all sites like this one are kept rather hush hush.
Also present were 2 male YELLOWHAMMERS, one of which sang and performed a threat display towards the other, 3 WILLOW WARBLERS (one with food) and 2 MALLARDS as well as several SONG THRUSHES.
