I like cuddy's Nightjar - outer tail feather (sorry... don't do proper names!)
I can see why GSW, so if it is, I reckon it's gotta be a big wing feather. Top one... hmmm... no idea, although doubtless obvious to those experinced in this kind of thing... some sort of game bird? |

I'll go for male European Nightjar all three:
Top, a first, second or third primary Middle a secondary Lowest an outer or second-outer tail In an elmwood bowl Michael |

The top two are the longest primaries and the bottom one is the outer tail feather...if that helps.

Two of these would cause a major twitch if they occured in britain. I'll give you the upper one, 2nd or 3rd primary of a male Nightjar, a road casualty in Norfolk!

oops, I thought it might be from the alula;
so it is a primary, I guess I will go for Otus scops-Scops owl If that´s not right, i will try Glaucidium passerinum - Pygmy Owl If thats also not right, i will try Jynx torquilla- Wryneck all for the middle feather I am still thinking on the last-thats a strange pattern... |
