I estimated about 10000 Barn Swallow come to roost in the town of Baoshan lately. Although some roost on wires, most of them roost inside Maple Tree.
Their action attracts a pair of Peregrine Falcon (subspecies peregrinator). Like those in HK, I beleive they will move on to migrate south.
Interesting at the same site there were also thousands of Tree Sparrow, hundreds of White Wagtail, and probably some Oriental White-eye as well.
