Giovanni found this amazing bird in the middle of the road with a broken wing. It is a nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus.
The bird was syringe-fed by Lavinia at the field station for a few days, based on directions received from ANIMA (a Greek organisation concerned with wildlife rescue). Once the nightjar looked like she was doing better, Silvia sent her to ANIMA in Athens for appropriate care and rehab.
