alanhill said:Last year I made the mistake of contributing to this thread with the result that my mailbox nearly always had a new mail: " xxx has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled...", and what followed was the not surprising reporting of the sightings of swifts, the majority leaving in August, but sightings continuing right through to November. Since this is bound to happen again this year do I now have to steel myself against these extremely repetitive reports or is there any way I can be 'unsubscribed' from the thread - I don't suppose there is?
Perhaps as a variant folks will comment on other migrant species which will also exhibit the same predictable pattern - the majority leaving within a set period but stragglers being sighted right through until November/December. Please try and come up with something new and interesting!
