SWIFTS IN LONDON.

[To THZ EDITOR OR THE SPECTATOR."]

saw three common swifts hawking over the east end of the Serpentine this afternoon (June 13th). I regret to say that they have since disappeared. I have never seen or heard of swifts in London before this, and do not know whether you may think this note of their passing visit worth recording.—
