Paula's Barn Swallows

by Paula Clements

Here are some pics from last year

I live in Eastern France not too far from the Swiss border and every summer I have swallows nesting in my house which is lovely. I open up the door of their room every morning and close it at night, there are also other people in this region who welcome swallows into their homes!

At the moment I just have one swallow sleeping in at night, It is a male, there are other swallows about but I don't think his mate has arrived yet as he is hanging about on the wires in front of the house, there are other swallows too but he is waiting. The females usually arrive later than the males, so lets hope his particular mate arrived, he's doing a lot of singing!

Just a quick update, the female arrived yesterday and spent the night in the romm with her mate! There are lots of other swallows around! We are experiencing one of the warmest early Springs for several years and I think that the swallows knew. Plenty of flies around and an added bonus the farmers have let the cows out into the fields nearby after an indoors wintering, my pony and llamas also helping to attract flies!!!!
