“The swallow, bonny birdie, comes sharp twittering o’er the sea,
And gladly is her carol heard for the sunny days to be;
She shares not with us wintry glooms, but yet, no faithless thing,
She hunts the summer o’er the earth with wearied little wing.”
A family of Australian Woodswallows perched tightly together on a wire preening each other against a background of bright blue sky.
