Heath Week 2026: Moths and Nightjars

Moths and Nightjars Join the RSPB for a wonderful evening: take a walk with us around the reserve, looking and listening to nightjars. We end the walk in brilliant style at our luminescent moth traps, watching as the moths arrive, live, through the evening, where we get amazing close ups of these beautiful insects. This event is free but booking is essential, to book please click here. For more information about the RSPB and Aylesbeare Common click here.   Event Details
