>> Hi Jim,
> (for May 16/13 at dusk)
>> Have been busy every night but last night I finished rehearsing a  
>> bit early and roared over to the Middleton chimney. Swifts were  
>> circling so I began looking for pencil and paper. That's when they  
>> began entering. I counted madly but missed the first ones. Here is  
>> my best effort. I will be away for the weekend but will do more  
>> counting during June!!
>> Arrived at 8:56   Swifts entered at 8:58     I left at 9:05.
>> Number I counted 134. I may have missed quite a few.
>> Temp   10*C     No wind      No rain   Cloud cover 98%
>> Guess it's 134+ this time.
>> Cheers, Claire
