Experience the Forest at dusk and learn about the extraordinary Nightjars that breed here.

Each summer the forest welcomes back the Nightjar from its wintering grounds in Africa. This heathland specialist bird, which comes here to breed, puts on a remarkable display at dusk to attract a mate. Following a brief introductory presentation to set the scene and some locally made refreshments we will head out in search of this charismatic bird of twilight.

Insect repellent recommended and please bring a torch.

There may be a need to relocate by car to another nearby forest car park to connect with this species.
