Swallow Season Returns
A Sign of Spring
As the days get longer and the weather warms, swallows make their way back to Albania. These beautiful birds are harbingers of spring, and their arrival is always a welcome sight.
Winged Wonders
Swallows are small, agile birds with long, narrow wings. They are most commonly known for their acrobatic aerial displays, which they perform to attract mates and defend their nests. The most common swallow in Albania is the barn swallow, which is easily recognized by its blue back and red face and throat.
Nesting and Breeding
Swallows typically build their nests in sheltered areas, such as barns, sheds, and garages. They build their nests out of mud and saliva, and they often reuse the same nest year after year.
A Long Journey
Swallows are migratory birds, meaning they travel long distances to reach their breeding grounds. The barn swallow, for example, travels from Africa to Albania each year to breed.
Conclusion
The return of swallows is a sure sign that spring has sprung in Albania. These beautiful birds are a joy to watch, and they are a reminder of the interconnectedness of the natural world.
