Howdy All,
Are there particular areas of Canberra that swallows (I'm assuming
"welcome swallows".... red under throat from memory, dark above and
paler below, distinctive longer wings etc) hang out? I know I've
seen them last year down at Kingston around the ponds, but I don't
think I have ever seen them at my house in Higgins until today. I
grew up with them out on our farm at Braidwood (they were nesting
each year in one of our sheds) so they have fond memories for me, but
I never recall seeing them at my place here in Canberra. Today there
were 3 of them, circling above the house for a while, calling madly
the whole time. That was what attracted my attention to them, the
different call to usual. It was really nice to see them, but do they
usually hang around this area and I just haven't seen them? It was
distinctive enough that I thought I would ask. I hope no-one minds
what many will likely consider such a basic question? Not exactly
something I could search the archives for. <grin>
Thanks in anticipation.
Cheers.
Paul T.
