Nightjars at Greenham.......

5 July - An evening trip to Greenham Common with Richard Williams, a fine cool evening with little wind. In the open area on the S side we heard the first Nightjar at 2152h and had 2 flight views of a bird showing the typical gliding flight. An amazing sound, ventriloqual and almost throbbing in the still air. A Barn Owl also made a brief appearance, but no sign of any roding Woodcock.
