The Swallows Are Here

 

Design - "March" (Flip It a Year with Charm)

Designer - Lizzie Kate 

Fabric - 28 count Light Mocha Cashel
Fibers - GAST - 2 strands over 2 threads
Started - 10 April 2016
Completed - 11 April 2016

The Violet-green Swallows are back in force.

Flying past nesting boxes.

Perching in the eaves above the boxes. 


Perching, watching, and flying.

Several birdhouses / nesting boxes appear to be in play. 



I counted five pairs of birds and assured them there was room for all.

Last year was disappointing as only 2 pair built nests and raised a brood.

I'm hoping for increased numbers this year.

We shall see.

I do so love Swallows. They are such sweet birds, great parents and have a loving sense of community. I hope you have at least 5 nesting pairs this year. What a treat.
