About the event

Join us to search for the illusive Nightjars with an evening strolling on the heath at Beacon Hill in the company of our bird expert, Andy Karran, to listen for and hopefully see this elusive and mysterious bird. Woodcock, Tawny Owls and bats should also make an appearance. 

The session is weather dependent and may be cancelled if inclement weather is anticipated.
