Couldn't quite
make Ian Morris's 54 Swifts but three moving over Aberaeron yesterday afternoon
(16.30) and then a flurry of hirundines very shortly afterwards - a noisy 60+
House Martins (thought at first there was a Sparrowhawk or whatever about) plus
about 10 Swallows. I sipped my tea for a further 20 minutes or so and watched a
further four or five Swallows and 20 House Martins moving but no more
Swifts.
There are also
up to 40 Goldfinches feeding as a flock in the still uncut meadow - a record
number.
