Call of the Nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus)

This video was filmed whilst on a local bird group Nightjar walk, at the end of the clip you can just see a Roding Woodcock pass overhead. You can hear the Nightjars "Churring" in the first clip and later at dusk you can hear the short "coo-ick" - "coo-ick" calls as the Woodcock passes over.

Love this sound, almost reminds me of running water, soothing.

Went out on a Nightjar walk last night. First the churring, then they swooped around us in the half light. And glow-worms to see on the way back to the car. Magical.

Thanks for posting.
