Our cold weather has been borne on winds mainly from the north and north east which holds up their arrival.
Whoosh. Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Not to pour petrel on this thread, but having a lark with bird puns, is trickery than fish, and is driving me into being a bit of a babbler.

Well that’s a whole lot more info than you gave us in your OP! Tell us about the colour, shape of wings and tail. What environment are you in - rural, suburbia, urban.

Geoff: I think the cold weather has held them up. Dollers: Really, I always thought it was warm weather that holds them up. As in thermals (currents of warm air that many birds use to avoid flapping). It wasn't that great a joke to have really bothered with this explanation, if I'm honest! Trust the process. Trust Phil.

It's all in the thread Vickers, it's all in the thread. You're right though, I should have pointed out more clearly that they could only be one of swallows, housemartins, swifts, or emus.

For this forum you would have been better off explaining how something so small can be blown off course by a bit of wind...
