A Swift Story
We found a tiny Swift one hot June day while walking the Barranc at Soller. (S)he didn’t look like (s)he was going to make it, but we gathered the little thing up and I took it home with me….
(S)he stayed with me for just over a week and kept me very busy catching the required 100 flies per day to feed him!!!! It was with some relief that I finally coaxed him into flying free and now his fate is in the feathers of his wings! 
Charming little creature, and I kind of miss him now he’s gone. He spent most of his days here perched on my shoulder eyeing the world around him warily! Apparently they can live in excess of 15 years, so I truly hope this little chap (or chap-ess!) lives on and brings many a young bird to our skies.
