Description
"First Swallows of Summer " watercolour
In April and May every year we welcome back one of the most charismatic of our summer visitors here in Ireland . the distintive whistling cries of the Swallow can be heard echoing across our countryside.
These tiny birds have travelled and enormous distance to return to our shores, facing many perils in the process including thirst, hunger and becoming somebody's lunch !
To undertake these incredible journeys,swallows need a huge amount of energy and during the warm summer months fill up on enough food to see them through their migration .Swallows are insectivorous and will often be seen on a warm summer day chasing flying insects round fields and meadows.
In Autumn/ Fall .they leave our shores and head south to Africa, away from our cold weather during the months of Winter.
