Irelandscapes | Swallows In The Rain at Strangford (N Irish HD footage of Swallow birds feeding and perching) @Irelandscapes | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
As you get older you learn to appreciate the sheer force of survival little winged creatures like the Swallow, the Swift and the Martin possess. From thousands of miles away in South Africa, they travel daily for six weeks to reach this island. For months they dance every minute of daylight in our skies and amongst our forests and grasslands, creating new life of their own. Always, they are a sound of happiness and resilience. Then as our days shorten, one of those days, they are all gone to warmer shores with only the promise of a return in the Spring months.
We hope you enjoy this footage of Swallows and Martins congregating in spectacular flight and perhaps you catch sight of the little Robin sat on the road watching it all.
