Hi Ian

I didn't give chase to the swallow because I thought I'd pick it up again
later over the sports complex (where often most will end up). I didn't get a
chance to view it again. It came in off the water/islands and moved rapidly
to the west feeding as it went.

I keep checking the buntings because I've lern't you never know what's
arround unless you study what's in front of you.

Take nothing for granted!!

As for a B&B there is one here in town its the Located @1309 Union Street
"Whitman Wharf House B&B" run by Elizabeth Measures 366-2450 It's beside the
Whitman House Museam.


All the best
Tom
