The swifts have arrived from Africa.
They were not here this morning when we woke up. But as we were putting the food away from our shopping trip around 12:30pm I couldn't help but notice that the sky had suddenly filled with swifts. They are paying particular attention to the courtyard of the blue awning buildings outside our apartment window. They are a month early.
To think that fly from Gabon, across the Sahara, and the Mediterranean Sea to get here...
