Myself and my friend Eugene went to explore Thursley Common's heathland habitat one evening in search of the mysterious, cryptic and rather eerie European Nightar. Also known as a Goatsucker or 'Corpse Bird' this much maligned species comes out at night, churring, wing clapping and flying around much like a large moth or butterfly.
We searched high and low to find a roosting specimen, and had a truly amazing close encounter!
