A WILDLIFE success story will be told in a North Yorkshire forest with a special trek to track down the elusive nightjar.
The nocturnal bird was threatened with extinction at one time as its traditional habitat was destroyed.
But its instinct for survival led it to Dalby Forest, where it arrives every summer from its winter home in sub-Saharan Africa. Now there are about 100 nesting pairs, and a celebration walk has been planned on June 7 in search of the bird. For details, phone 01751 460378.
