Our first nightjar of the year was heard churring at 0415 on Saturday morning, just before the start of our Dawn Chorus Walk. That's slightly earlier than normal, we usually expect to hear our first one from about 10 May. Those who attended the dawn chorus walk also enjoyed hearing Cuckoo, Willow and Garden Warblers, Chiffchaff, Common Whitethroat, Robin, Song Thrush, Wren and Dunnock in full song and the list of birds seen during the morning included Yellowhammer, Great Spotted Woodpecker, and Woodcock.
