But a couple I could name. yesterday I saw a pair of peregrins and a Swarm ( and I use swarm advisedly) of swifts hunting on the wing along a hedge thick with flies. the air was full with them, i had to slow down in fear of one hitting the window of the car.
Get yourself a guide book and when you see a bird when you're out running make a note of size, colour, movement etc and check it out later at home. RSPB website is good too www.rspb.org

I had a schoolteacher when I was 8 or 9 and he organised bird watching trips to Leighton Moss, Slimbridge etc and it's something I've loved ever since
