"I have given up looking for the exact speed of a tit but I think its somewhere between 20-50mph. However, A Peregrine Falcon, chased by an airplane (unusual circumstances) - top speed ever recorded at 145 mph " and Found this which you should read because you will be tested at a later date http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/animals/.../speedofbirds/ The Link Said In 1938 an American newspaper published a report from a pilot who was nose-diving at 170mph. The speed of his plane wasn't exceptional. What was remarkable was that he was passed by a diving peregrine stooping on some ducks "as though the plane was standing still". In 1955 another observer used a stop-watch to record the speed of needletail swifts crossing a valley in the Cahar Hills of Assam. The valley was two miles broad and the birds took between 32.8 and 41.8 seconds to traverse it. Thus the fastest speed was 219.5mph How come you contridicted yourself in the space of two posts? wsgroups.com wrote in message ...

We have a few pied wagtails around, also the odd group of hoopoes, and
plenty of sparrows, also a few house martins still around. but threr will be more in the next month or so when they start to pass through. There are also a fair number of birds I haven't yet identified, must get a bird recognition book for here. Mike |
