Barn Swallows

Heather photographed this group of barn swallows at the garden. No longer as common a sight as once upon a time, sadly. In the early days of the garden, when the Interpretive Centre was little used, barn swallows several times nested on the building near the front door. As the building became busier, they gave up. We installed nesting platforms but they were never used. Now, we only occasionally see barn swallows around the garden. They nest nearby, but not in the garden itself.
