		Swinhoe’s Storm-petrel breeds in the northwest Pacific Ocean on islands off Korea, off Shantung in China, and off Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu in Japan and on the Verkhovski and Karamzin Islands near Vladivostok.
		Bulwer’s Petrel, a possible confusion species with Swinhoe’s, was only recognised a year previous to this sighting by Jardine and Selby (1828) and Harcourt (1855) identified this individual as such, although the description of the bird seems likely to have referred to a dark-rumped storm-petrel (Bourne, 1990).
		We would be inclined to agree with the theory that records of Swinhoe’s Storm-petrel in the Western Palearctic occur as a result of random vagrancy into the Atlantic, via the Cape of Southern Africa, and not as a result of a small breeding population.

		Almost certainly she was the ghost of Imogen Swinhoe, the second wife of Henry Swinhoe, a retired Indian civil servant who bought the house, Garden Reach, which stands at the corner of Pittville Circus Road and All Saints Road, in 1860 when it was built, and lived there for 16 years up until his death.
		Henry Swinhoe was very much in love with his first wife and when she died he took to drink to swallow his grief.
		Imogen died on 23rd September, 1878, at the age of 41, and her remains were brought back to Cheltenham to be interred in the churchyard, a mere quarter of a mile from the house in which she had lived.

	TRAGOPAN 5
		Swinhoe's pheasants appeared mostly in primary broadleaf forest, in areas where the canopy was closed, the undergrowth sparse, and the slopes gentle.
		Interestingly, even the brightly coloured male Swinhoe's pheasant is remarkably difficult to detect in a forest, probably because the contrasting bright sunny patches and dark shadows of the forest produces a visual pattern very similar to the colour pattern of his back.
		Swinhoe's pheasant nests are in dark and obscure locations, generally under some large shelter, such as a fallen log, rock, or overhang in hardwood or mixed forests.

	Northern Light Charters - The Chalice Petrel: http://www.northernlight-uk.com/cp_6
		Swinhoe’s Storm-petrel is superficially like the Chalice bird (dark, with a conspicuous carpal bar), but it differs in many ways: it is much smaller, the tail appearing short in relation to body size, and it has a very different flight style.
		Swinhoe’s were also seen progressing rapidly in tight, low, Pterodroma-like arcs, much as Leach’s occasionally do, but the wings were noticeably straighter, with little apparent bend on the trailing edge, and the tail appeared to be slightly shorter.
		The Swinhoe’s we saw were extremely dark flish-brown throughout, with a very conspicuous and contrasty tan carpal bar on the upperwing.

		Their personal experience in the field with Swinhoe's Snipe revealed that they too could portray varying amounts of foot projection.
		Hayman et al (1986) in their table of Gallinago snipe ID characters, claim that the primaries are covered by the tertials in Pin-tailed Snipe but that the tips of the primaries extend well past the tertials in Swinhoe's.
		This is now considered to be incorrect, as in Swinhoe's too; the tertials conceal most or all of the primaries in the folded wing.

		For example, the white shaft streaks on the outer primaries of Swinhoe’s, so immediately apparent in the hand, had been considered to be invisible in the field (e.g.

		This submission concerns the sighting of 15 birds considered to be Swinhoe's Storm Petrel Oceanodroma monophris sighted at sea between Ashmore Reef and Broome, WA.
		Pale shafts to the primaries do exist on Swinhoe's Storm Petrel but unless extremely close views were obtained it would be normal to expect these NOT to be visible.
		Of concern to one member was the fact that the both observers were (particularly in the second sighting) describing groups of birds rather than single individuals, potentially causing concern should more than one species be involved.

		"Children form a view of themselves, and they usually get that view from their peers." According to Swinhoe, a licensed marriage and family therapist and pastoral counselor, data shows that negative self-image can be instilled in a child as early as 5 years old and is largely related to the parents' view of obesity.
		"Then they grow up with an unrealistic view of their bodies." Swinhoe believes that approximately 25 to 30 percent of adolescents struggle with obesity today, and while many appear to go unaffected by constant ridicule, Swinhoe said the teasing and taunts have a much deeper psychological effect.
		"Parents should help the children talk about their struggles, and they should talk about their own struggles as well." Swinhoe argues that it is much easier to face a problem when you are not alone, and parents speaking out with their own experiences not only normalizes the child's struggle, but also empowers the child.
