    An amazing bird , which migrates 190 miles a day to the bottom of South Africa, and then returns again for our summer.

    Lover, there will be another one
    Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
    Tomorrow see the things that never come
    Today

    When you see me
    Fly away without you
    Shadow on the things you know
    Feathers fall around you
    And show you the way to go
    It's over, it's over.

    Nestled in your wings my little one
    This special morning brings another sun
    Tomorrow see the things that never come
    Today

    When you see me
    Fly away without you
    Shadow on the things you know
    Feathers fall around you
    And show you the way to go

    Re: Swallows

    Would have thought it was a bit early for Swallows to leave unless our crazy weather has something to do with it? When i was a kid Swallows along with Swifts and House Martins seemed to be everywhere but sadly along with a lot of other species locally they've been in rapid decline.

    Swallows feed on insects not worms.

    Glad to help.

    GB,
    As a Troubador and Minstrel, do you perchance view the birds upon the wire as if notes upon the stave? Upon the very staves of life?

    And if so, what sweet music doth they convey?

    Pray tell. A Hey nonny no.
