Am going on a field trip to Minsmere / Westleton next week and was wondering how the Nightjars and the Woodcocks were showing?

As Ive never seen either of these species before it would be great to see them both in one evening. Has anyone been recently and have they been lucky?o

Anything else at minsmere at the moment worth looking out for ?o

Hi Marcia!
No-one from Suffolk seems to want to reply!
Looking at the Minsmere web page
http://www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/m/minsmere/sightings.asp
it seems as if the Nightjars are still performing!
Don't know where you are in Norfolk, but Marsham Heath is fantastic for them at the moment!

Hi Lightthiscandle
Thanks. Im in Attleborough so not too sure how far Marsham Heath is for me as not sure where it is? Im a member of a field group (have been attending nightschool) so hopefully will see / hear something next week. Will have a look at Minsmeres Web page.

Hi Marcia!
Marsham Heath is just South of Aylsham: 25 - 30 km from Attleborough.
