Nightjar and Woodcock at Snelsmore Common


12 June - a late evening stop at Snelsmore Common nr Newbury, en route home, and a fine evening with no wind. 2 Woodcocks were roding between 9.30 - 10pm, then at 9.56 pm a Nightjar started churring, and showed briefly in flight with a female - then another bird started churring on the other side if the heath. Very atmospheric against the fading light.
