[Ontbirds]Common Nighthawks London

2008-09-25 Thread E. Smout
Hi All

Much to my surprise around 7pm tonight I had over 15 Common Nighthawks at the 
corner of Richmond and Oxford. They were over the north side of Oxford between 
Sydenham St. moving east.  It was difficult to count them because of the dusk 
but at one point I counted 18.

I haven't seen that many Nighthawks in London in a long time, it was great.  
Too much traffic to hear them beeping which was a bummer.

Good Birding

Hi All

Tonight about 8pm I had 6 Common Nighthawks feeding over Gibbons Park by the 
footbridge over the Thames in London.

Good birding,

[Ontbirds]Common Nighthawks - London

2007-08-29 Thread John Luke Wheatley
Monday night I enjoyed the erratic flight of a foraging flock of at least 20 
common nighthawks over Chesham Park in Northwest London.  They began around 
6:30, and slowly moved to the Southeast around 7:30.  It was my first 
experience with nighthawks in flight, and it was thoroughly enjoyable.

Chesham Park is in Northwest London,  South of Sarnia Rd. between Western and 
Wonderland roads.  Take Castlegrove blvd. South from Sarnia Rd.  There is a 
large parking lot on the North side.

Good Birding
