NIGHTJARS - CANNOCK CHASE - 17TH JUNE 2011

West Midland Bird Club Field Trip to Cannock Chase

The weather forcast for this field trip was forecasted heavy rain, luckily we had a damp night only with a few showers late on.


We met at normal at the Springslade Car Park, started our walk over the chase at 9.15pm. Though only six turned up a wonderful night was had by all.


We met another field trip group from the Friends of Cannock Chase


Sightings of two Nightjars, their calls were very close to us with flight calls aswell. Other birds tree pipit, jay and tawny owl calling


See link to my youtube video 38secs at 11pm at night just a black screen, but the wonderful calling sound.
