Thanks again, Claire! Who's Dave? Gradual entries like you had over the past two nights make it relatively easy to count them, eh? And it's nice that the MERLIN just flew on by and didn't return. Cheers from Jim ---------- From: Claire Diggins <claire_diggins@hotmail.com> Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 08:58:27 -0300 To: jimwolford@eastlink.ca Subject: swifts Hi Jim, Dave and I counted 313 swifts entering the Middleton chimney last night. We arrived at 7:55 and birds were circling. Also a MERLIN flew over. He did not return. At 8:15 the first 4 birds entered the chimney. By 8:40 they were all in. We left at 8:45. The birds are going in in dribs and drabs and new small flocks keep arriving over the roof. This is unlike some years when they appeared to be sucked down like a small tornado. Weather was cool but very clear with a wonderful sunset. Claire
