24/06/2020 - Wharncliffe Heath NR

Highlights from a pre-dusk walk around the reserve included 4 Crossbill and a Tree Pipit

After sunset produced my best ever night for Nightjar on the reserve. Activity including churring, calling and wing clapping was almost continuous for a solid hour. With a coordinated effort between myself and the other observer, Dave Buttle, it is thought to involve a minimum of 8 birds, including at least 6 males and 2 females. 5 Woodcock and 2 Tawny Owl were also recorded.
