13 hours in that wind must have been some feat - hope it was in relays

I wanted to get some accurate counts of Swifts, House Martins and Swallows etc.

Also theres the possibility of something unusual this time of year, for example Little Swift, White-rumped Swift, you never know I might get lucky.

Cheers,

Richard

I like this scientific approach (using the equation time in the field = birds).
