SWALLOW FACTFILE
| Swallows
are traditionally a sign of summer, but they arrive well before
summer does, with the earliest seen in late March.
|
|
When swallows first return to the UK, they are constantly
on the wing, hunting for insects and even drinking by swooping
down over water and snatching a beakful. |
Your
best chance of seeing a swallow really clearly is in September,
when they sit together on telephone wires preparing to migrate
back to Africa. When they sit still, you can see their red
throats.
The
longer a male swallow's tail streamers, the more chance he
has of mating! |
