Thursday 17th. June – Nightjar Evening at Marsham Heath
Our nightjar evening will follow the usual format. Those who would like to have a bit of a social and have a meal will meet at the Marsham Arms at 7:00pm ish so we can all sit down and order our meals at 7:30ish. If you would just like to have a drink you can join us at any time in the evening. We will aim to finish our meals etc. so we can leave the Marsham Arms no later than 9:20pm and arrive at Marsham Heath by 9:30 in time to catch the nightjars coming out.
Please let me know if you would like directions or more information and also numbers so I can inform the landlord. by 10th. June latest as nothing is pre-ordered. Contact me (Josh Leeder.)on 01603 872660 .
Don’t forget your gnat repellent and appropriate clothing for the weather. Also a torch is useful for finding your way back to the car.
N.B. Nightjars are sensitive to noise and we will only enjoy close views if the birds are not disturbed. As responsible birdwatchers we must set the standard and if any other groups on the heath are not so responsible a polite word may be necessary.
