Swallows are a much loved sign of the arrival of spring, but how much do yo actually know about then? This video covers everything from where swallows migrate to, how long swallows live, if swallows mate for life, how many eggs swallows lay and pretty much everything else you could want to know about them.

I write all the scripts used in these videos. it was too big for the video description but please get in touch f you would like to see it.
