Swallows, like other
migrant birds, face many threats
on their travels, from starving
as they cross the expanding Sahara,
being eaten in Nigeria or general
habitat degredation in many countries.
In the UK there are suggestions
that a lack of nesting places
and fewer flies may also be causing
problems.
To teach the next
generation about migration, why
not buy the children's books "Rusty
Flies South" and "Rusty's
Return", the stories of a
year in the life of Rusty
the Swallow.
