  Studies of the HI in galaxies have clearly shown that subtle details of the
HI distribution and kinematics often harbour key information for understanding
the structure and evolution of galaxies. Evidence for the accretion of material
has grown over the past many years and clear signatures can be found in HI
observations of galaxies. We have obtained new detailed and sensitive HI
synthesis observations of three nearby galaxies which are suspected of
capturing small amounts of HI and show that indeed accretion of small amounts
of gas is taking place in these galaxies. This could be the same kind of
phenomenon of material infall as observed in the stellar streams in the halo
and outer parts of our galaxy and M31
