TWICE A YEAH
STARLINGS FLY AWAY IN MIGRATORY TRIANGLE
RESEARCH CHECKS MOVES Twice a year starlings fly away 'rom Sweden. In July the young airds migrate to Denmark, and i-n October the fully-grown birds come jver the sea to England for the, winter. These facts have been established by the Swedish Museum of Natural History, which since 1913 has been marking birds and receiving reports from thousands of observers. A mass of information was received about 25 kinds of birds, but until a few years ago the museum had not the staff to catalogue all this material. Then the Swedish Government decided as jjart of its. measures to reduce unemployment, to give research jobs to out-of-work office assistants, and so the starling's movement were checked. It lias been discovered that tlie birds will leave Sweden in October and collect in great flocks in Belgium before coming across the Channel to the British Isles.
