Nightjar Walks at RSPB Aylesbeare Nature Reserve

Join the warden / experienced guide for an evening looking and listening for the evocative nightjar.

This is a fantastic chance to learn more about the Nightjar soon after they return from Africa, displaying and setting up their homes for the summer. Listen for the strange 'churring' noise they make. If we are lucky we may witness the unusual wing clapping behaviour.

Please wear sturdy footwear, warm clothes and bring a torch
