Swallows faithful to a nest site 忠於巢址的燕子...

Here share an interesting swallow information that's excerpted from the book 'Everything you never learned about birds - by Rebecca Rupp, P.94':
"House martins and swallows are faithful to a nest site, rather than to a mate. Males return from migration first; if the female shows up at the nest site in time, the relationship may be on again. (If she's a slow flier, she may be out of luck.)"
一則引述自 '一切你不知曉的鳥事（暫譯） - Rebecca Rupp, P.94' 有關燕子的有趣資料：
" 毛腳燕與家燕都是忠於巢址多於配偶的。雄鳥率先遷徙回歸，雌鳥若能適時返抵巢 址，他們或會再續前緣（若雌鳥姍姍來遲，或就因此錯失良機囉）"
This is an interesting bird book (suitable for ages 9 to 99) that I enjoy!
