655.0. "Geneva area news." by BEORN::16.184.5.118::BOWMAN () Mon May 12 1997 11:29

Well, around Geneva area in the last few days:-

7	Little Egret
2	Nutcracker
3	Citril Finch
3	Whiskered Tern
75	Black Tern
1	Red-backed Shrike
XXX	Nightingales
3	Garden Warbler
1	Tree Pipit
30+	Common Tern
3	Alpine Swift
1	Short-toed Eagle
10+	Bonelli's Warbler
1	Ortolan Bunting
1	Red Kite
1	Golden Eagle

There are relatively few Sand Martins visible at the moment at least I have 
not seen any at their usual colonies, Common Swifts are already in their 
colonies.

Not yet seen and a little late, probably due to the persistent rain and cold:-

Honey Buzzard
Melodious Warbler
Bee-eater (none at the local colony on Saturday)

Could the moderator, whoever it is now please move my note on Geneva area news 
to be a reply to the note on May sightings. Something seems to have gone wrong 
and I managed to produce a new topic rather than a response...

Thanks,

Mike
