Barn Swallows - bird of the year

We want a world with Barn Swallows!
Speedy swallows migrate all the way from Africa to Spain, and are a symbol of our countryside - but we're losing them. The indiscriminate use of pesticides and the rural depopulation abandonment of traditional uses, caused a 30 percent decrease of the population in the last ten years. Humans and Swallows walked together from the beginning, in an inseparable seasonal journey. SEO/BirdLife wants a lively world where human and nature live in harmony.

Thank you for such high quality footage. I love swallows and have been studying them closely for 15 years where they return to my home every March and leave every August. As mentioned in this video, the sky does indeed go silent on the day they leave. Sad, but I look forward to their return each March with great anticipation and what a great day that is. Wonderful parents they are. I love them

They are so lovely. They had built a nest in our house last year and this year they came back again.

" all the way from Africa to Spain" - the Internet
Yes, we'd lose a lot by deleting the internet, but think about how much we'd gain.
