    Hi,
    Last night May 15th, I checked the swifts at the Middleton chimney. =
I was very careful to have a conservative count. The cameras act as a =
control should one over-estimate.
    Tues   May 15,   19.5*C   no wind   cloud 35%     Time of arrival: =
8:39
    8:52   I saw first swift enter
    9:05   Last swift entered
    9:10   I left.
    Total entering:   213                    I think 1 flew out during =
that time.
    Claire
