An old pre-digital photograph rephotographed. This Common Nighthawk was found on St Agnes in the Isles of Scilly and we were lucky enough to see it roosting in an open field on a day twitch by Skybus Islander from Lands End Airport on 10 September 1998. It remained fro some days but unfortunately had been weakened by its transatlantic flight and ultimately died, the corpse being picked up by a birder for preservation.
