Virtual Nightjar Walk

Walk on the heaths.
Nightjars are nocturnal birds that are easily recognisable by their distinctive song.  Join Urban Heaths Partnership warden Amy as she goes looking for these beautiful birds, and shares some of the myths surrounding them. The beautiful landscape of Dorset's heathland at dusk provides a calming backdrop to this video.
