Slepe Heath Nightjar Experience 2022
Details
Birds of Poole Harbour have partnered with the Purbeck National Trust team once again to explore the scenic Slepe Heath, which is nestled to the north of Hartland Moor and Corfe Castle. The southern heaths of Poole Harbour are a stronghold for Nightjar – and Slepe Heath is no exception! This mysterious bird leads an unusual lifestyle and their haunting song ring out across the heathland at dusk. Join us to learn about and see some important areas for these heathland specialists whilst taking in stunning views out across the Wareham Channel. The grand finale will be listening to (and hopefully watching!) Nightjars, as they become active at dusk, before heading out in to the darkness to feed.
