Hi Ken and all,
Hughie and I started our Oxford swift watch last night at 8:29 as well, wit=
h great conditions (winds calm, 21 degrees and no cloud cover). It wasn't u=
ntil 8:48 that we saw a swift, which appeared seemingly out of nowhere and =
entered the freestanding chimney without a sound. This seems to be the norm=
for this roost site. Three more surprised us at 8:59 (also silent entries)=
but we didn't see any more swifts by the time we left at 9:15. So, it's a =
grand total of 4 swifts for this count. We also counted 3 nighthawks foragi=
ng overhead for much of the evening.
In Sussex, NB not a single swift entered the roost chimney that the birds h=
ad been using earlier this year. We aren't yet sure why that is. In Hampton=
, NB Richard Blacquiere counted 10 entries, down from his previous counts o=
f 40-50 birds. Swifts are definitely on the move.
