What's that strange noise...? 🤔 No it's not a Tardis appearing, it's the song of a male nightjar! Listen out for this 'churring' call at dusk while walking on heathland or in young conifer woodlands for a chance to spot this cryptic bird. Their camouflaged plumage, silent flight and myths of stealing milk from goats have given nightjars a supernatural reputation, although they actually feed on moths, beetles and other insects. 📷 David Tipling/2020VISION 🔈Nightjar call Jack Newmarch #HeathWeek
