It can be heard on still, silent, warm and windless summer evenings as dusk turns into night &#8211; a rapid succession of notes all at the same pitch with a down-toned slur interrupting at intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nightjar has many superstitious colloquial names including the Corpse Bird or Lich (corpse) Fowl and Gabble Ratchet (a name for the Gabriel Hounds of the Wild Hunt.
