How to display the pellet contents

Have a piece of card handy for each pellet. Write on the top of the card the name of the bird that produced the pellet, and the date and place where it was collected. Arrange all the articles from the pellet that you have identified onto the card and stick them in place with strong glue. Beside each of the remains, write the name of the animal from which it came. If you wish, you can include the soft material of the pellet on the card, fully dried and suitably labelled, in a small polythene bag.
