 Experience one of RSPB Arne's most mysterious birds in a stunning and exclusive part of the nature reserve not usually open to the public

Ellie Sunderland, RSPB Arne Visitor Experience Officer, said: “Folklore has named the nightjar goat sucker, corpse-fowl, and scissor grinder. Come along and learn more about the heathland and why it's a crucial home to the nightjar and other special wildlife."

These walks take place on Thursday evenings throughout June and July with the option of a two-course meal beforehand enjoyed at the on-site cafe. Vegetarian options are available too.

The walks take place between 8pm and 10.30pm and cost £25 per person, or £20 for RSPB members.

Booking is required so go to arnenightjarwalks2019.eventbrite.co.uk
