Click on the picture to hear THE MALE
NIGHTJAR. This bird is a summer visitor to the heathlands of Southern England
where it breeds successfully. On warm, still, summer evenings the male can be heard
uttering his high-frequency repetetive call, known as churring. Flying at dawn and
dusk, the bird catches moths on the wing. During daylight they are very camouflage
and difficult to spot as they roost or sit on their nest. More information about the
NIGHTJAR.
Click on the picture to hear the DAWN
CHORUS. At dawn, particularly on fine spring mornings, a multitude of birds can be
heard singing in woodlands and other habitats across the UK.
Click on the picture to hear TOADS BY NIGHT.
During a very short period in early spring, thousands of male and female toads come from
miles around to spawn in ponds and wetlands. They are mostly active by night.
The amorous males compete with each other in order to win a female. The sound of
croaking fills the night air. Each male's croak has a slightly different pitch. On
damp nights during the breeding season, many toads croak together, producing a
characteristic chorus of croaking. More information.
