"It's nice to
see that thanks to Edward Mayer's noble endeavours in revising the
English texts, without even mentioning your own hard work, the web-site
designer's' goodwill, and Igor Fefelov's as well as my own efforts, some
Russian-language information will see the world. Thank you very much
indeed for tearing down this linguistic Berlin wall." Dr. Jevgeni Shergalin zoolit@hotmail.com 11 April 2006
"I would like to thank you for the
effort you have invested in creating this very informative web site. It is
the best site I have found so far on the Common Swift, or indeed on any bird
species."
"Je profite de
l'occasion pour vous témoigner de l'admiration que j'ai pour votre
extraordinaire site web sur le Martinet noir! 14 March 2006
"How similar
the Common Swift nestlings are to Chimney Swifts (a swift is a swift...)!
However, there are some distinct differences. In Chimney Swifts, the
feathers around the face are the last to develop -- leaving a "frosty-faced"
appearance. Also, the primaries of Chimney Swifts apparently stay in sheath
much longer than those of Apus apus. "In my
childhood I had to go to the library to check about this name but now I had
just to type it in google. I also learned about this bird especially from
the wonderful website of Ulrich Tigges from Berlin, a Swift fan, who worked
hard to translate the site to 11 languages, including Hebrew, and the more I
read the more I realize how much the big things can be hidden from your
eyes." "Greetings from
Turkish Bird Research Society! I will try to take down notes of Common Swift
arrival dates after finding out this incredible website of yours." "Como
dice el dicho, quien encuentra un amigo encuentra un tesoro, y aquellas
personas especiales que admiren a los vencejos son por naturaleza mis
amigos. Ustedes son los primeros que encuentro. Felicitaciones y gracias por
construir este lugar de encuentro."
"Congratulation for your wonderful internet "nest" of APUS." "I am
extremely impressed by your amazing website on the Common Swift. I have been
running a Swift Conservation Project for the Sussex Ornithological Society
in Southern England for several years, and also promoting Swift conservation
through my work as a local authority (County Council) ecologist. "Thank
you for a wonderful web page. We work with Chimney Swifts (Chaetura pelagica)
in Austin, Texas USA and also have web cam. We hope you will visit our
site." "We have
read some chapters with interest, we can agree with the hand rearing
instructions totally! "The
website about the Common Swift (Apus apus) is very beautifull but it need
more photos about the Apus bird." "Ce site
est décidément très complet." "I am a big fan of swifts from watching them at the Holy Western Wall, but untill I found your web site yesterday I knew almost nothing about them.
Thank you for your web site. It has taught me a lot, and I hope to learn
more, and maybe contribute something." 25 Mar 2001
"Congratulation for your excellent site."
"Superb
website! An excellent resource, especially the bibliography." "Eine
wunderbare und sehr informative Webpage. Herzlichen Glückwunsch und "Thanks for
your web journal: superb." "C'est un
site hénaurme, un mine d'infos." When
surfing the net I incidentally found your Apus-site and was much impressed." "I have visited your homepage and found it very successful." XU Yangong "Wonderful site for a wonderful bird!" Serge Scory "Today I saw your homepage on the Swift. It looks great! Congratulations!" Dick Bos "It has been a pleasure to discover that you have a page about Apus. Here is my web page: http://www.virtualbaix.com/mosquits/" Carlos Aranda "I have checked the URL & found it to be very good." Terry West & Noel Wamer My congratulations! I see that the your virtual magazine is coming off the ground." Gerald Oreel "Your APUSlist is a most wonderful work." Phil Chantler "I think The Common Swift Home Page looks very promising." Jan Holmgren "Deine Website habe ich mir angesehen - gefällt mir. Endlich mal solide Informationen zu einer Art." Henry Hahnke |
