Hello Frances
It may just be a little early for guaranteed Nightjars. They are one of the later spring/summer arrivals and as we all know spring has sprung late this year.
I usually go Nightjar watching in late June/early July at Westleton Heath in Suffolk and I am always successful then .... as are the zillions of biting insects that come out to feed on us mad birdwatchers

Thank you Richard. That's very useful. Yes, I am aware it's early. I just thought we might go and have a listen as we are down that way for a wedding! Obviously we'll be enjoying all that Arne has to offer as well.
I'll have to keep my husband covered with some sort of cream and well buttoned up. The insects seem to adore him!
