Nightjar walks at RSPB Arne

These highly anticipated walks are back! There’s nothing quite like the ‘churring’ sound of the nightjar…

Folklore has named it the goat sucker, corpse-fowl and scissor grinder, amongst others. Experience one of our most mysterious birds in an exclusive opportunity to listen for the iconic ‘churring’ of the nightjar, to take in the sights and sounds of the reserve by night and to do all that on a full stomach of delicious food cooked by Arne’s wonderful café team.

The evening will start from 7pm with a two course meal provided by the RSPB Arne café, followed by a 2 hour guided walk starting at 8:30pm.

The meal will be eaten outside in the café garden, where there is covered seating available.

Meal options:
– Meat Option: Locally sourced lamb and mint burger – served with Grilled Halloumi and Potato Wedges.
– Vegetarian option : vegetable chili served with cheese, pitta and sour cream
– Vegan option: vegetable chili served with pitta and avocado
– Dessert: Seasonal fruits with Purbeck Vanilla ice cream.
