Last minute decision to pop up to Cross Inn forest last night in spite of nothing seen or heard on my previous visit on 6th June. .Thrushes,chiffies and c whitethroat plus dog fox kept me interested until 10.23 when first nightjar started chirring. Two further sessions of calling when a bird appeared over my shoulder at 10.33 which proceeded to perfo.m several fly pasts at eye level even hovering above my head kestrel like twice, behaviour I've not seen before. Either fem or juv as no evidence of white patches> .A bird was still chirring in the smaller clear fell to my right as I left at 10.46 very happy with my last minute decision
