Still catch Nightjars.

When I went out yesterday I have several nightjars on the road flying up in front of my car. At the place for my mistnet a female fly around when I start the playback. After a while the female and a youngster was trapped in the net but when I removed the female the youngster fly away. I have some more nigthtjars fly around but the wind increased and I take down the net and go home again.

 A little fat female with wing 196 mm and weight 92,1 gram.

 The wing indicated she was 3 year or older.

Growing tail. Moulting or predation?
