23 members (a record in recent years) assembled on Flash Lane in midge free conditions and were treated to brilliant close views of Nightjars which on occasion flew over their heads. In addition, there were plenty of Tree Pipits and Woodcock were seen on multiple occasions. Clearly a trip to be repeated next year. Those that got there early also saw a Cuckoo and two Great Spotted Woodpeckers.
