Tonight was our second Nightjar walk at Arne and again, they showed brilliantly for our group for around 10 minuets. Also seen prior to the Nightjars was a single Hobby, 2 Dartford Warbler, 2 Curlew, 1 Yellow-legged Gull and 10+ Little Egret heading into roost. Interestingly a Common Crane had apparently spent part of the day flying around on Hartland Moor not going anywhere very fast due to the wind. On Brownsea a Spotted Redshank showed briefly and on Lytchett Fields Redshank, Lapwing, Black-tailed Godwit and a Green Sandpiper were the only waders.
