Our highly anticipated Nightjar Walks are back!
Experience RSPB Arne at night with this exclusive opportunity to see and listen for the iconic ‘churring’ Nightjar. These mysterious and unusual heathland birds, known in folklore as ‘goat suckers’ and ‘corpse fowl’, have sparked the imagination of people for centuries.
We’ll also be on the lookout for other nocturnal wildlife such as deer, foxes, badgers, and the many species of bat that roost and forage on the reserve.
The event will start with dinner in the RSPB Arne Café, followed by a 2-hour guided walk across the reserve. The walk may last longer, and end time may vary, depending on the wildlife on the night.
*Dinner is included in the ticket price.
Please let us know of any dietary requirements during the booking process.
