Donald sent us these two photos with the following comments:

Last night Val and I went on a guided Nightjar walk over Creech Heath with James, one of the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation rangers. He showed us the roosting Silver-studded Blue’s and we also found a roosting Small Skipper.

Later as it got dark we started to hear the Nightjars “churring” and saw some in flight but no wing clapping. A really good evening.
