' Knowing Birds by their Flight'
Richard MORSE
Although most birds are able to fly, they do not all fly in the same way. Some move their wings so quickly that you can actually hear them whirring as the birds fly near to you, whereas the wing-beats of others are so slow that it is easy to count how many there are to the minute.
Then, too, there are noisy fliers and silent fliers, straight fliers and zigzag fliers, rapid fliers and lazy fliers, quivering, hovering and wheeling fliers, and many more that are equally interesting.
By learning to distinguish some of the different kinds of flight it is often possible to identify a bird that is a long way off, or one that is seen only in the dusk or twilight, and in this way we can make our country walks much more enjoyable.
