Dead nightjars and owls

Every Atlas suffers from a shortage of records for nightjars and, to a lesser extent, owls simply because so few people drive at night and even fewer camp on a regular basis.

With digital cameras so common place u can all help rectify this by taking time out to photograph any dead birds you come across. All we need are a wing and the tail, both spread to show individual feathers. Most species can then be identified and sexed. Some, such as this ???? are easier than others.
