The Nightjar walk at Blackheath was very successful. The fourteen assembled members had many sightings of roding Woodcock which was a lifetime first for several of us. The Nightjars were getting the leader worried by their non-appearance when suddenly the first one was heard. A nightjar was then spotted perched on a distant bare branch. We were then treated to many views of them flying, including around our heads. There were others calling. This again was a first for several. In addition to the billed species we also saw Crow, Blackbird, Linnet, Dartford Warbler and heard Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Cuckoo, Wren and Tawny Owl
