Hi Jim & All, Aug 2, 2010
If it was white smoke then the Swifts have elected a Pope. If it was dark then the Swifts, far more likely, were sweeping soot from the flue walls.
Even on calm, cool days (best for roof work) and with the stove vents closed as far as possible, soot will rise from our flue when it is being swept.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville

Hi Jim
Temperance St.
July 13 114
July 18 142
July 28 211
July 31 185
On July 28 smoke came out chimney for a half min. or so before any swifts went in. On July 31, smoke came out after the majority had entered the chimney! The swifts must tolerate this, but why would there be smoke when the school is empty for the summer and the temp. 20-25C!
cheers
ken
