The Barn Swallow is a familiar and popular bird throughout the world. It is one of the most widely distributed bird species, breeding in North America, Europe, Asia and North Africa and wintering in South America, southern Africa, southern Asia and even northern Australia. Its habit of nesting close to human habitation has made this elegant bird a part of farmyard and village life and a welcome herald of spring. This book examines all aspects of the life of this endearing bird, with chapters on its flying skills and feeding habits, mate choice, breeding strategies, nest sites, eggs and incubation, nestling rearing, productivity and survival, migratory behaviour and population dynamics. It also considers changes in populations and behaviour in relation to intensive agriculture and climate change. The Barn Swallow is both engaging and authoritative; birdwatchers will enjoy amazing insights into the life of the species, such as the importance of tail feathers when finding a mate, or the sinister way that some birds kill of the chicks of rivals. Academic scholars will appreciate the book's broad overview of current research on this species.

Known as heralds of spring and beautiful, elegant flyers, swallows are among the most beloved of familiar birds. Because they return with the spring, swallows, as Angela Turner explains, have long been associated with the renewal of life, love, fidelity, and fertility, while their ability to travel incredible distances has given them associations with freedom and speed. That freedom, however, hasn’t kept them from becoming familiar figures in towns and cities. They often seem to even seek out human company—for example, barn swallows are known for nesting in our buildings and purple martins in our back yards. Destruction of their natural habitat, however, has proved dangerous to some species of swallow, and recent years have seen some populations dwindling to the point of near-extinction. Turner outlines the reasons for these declines as part of her engaging account of the natural and cultural history of this beloved bird.

"Universally known and recognised, the Swallow occupies a special place in the affections of mankind, not only for its beauty and confiding nature but also because throughout much of the northern hemisphere it is welcomed as the harbinger of summer. The sight of Swallows skimming low over meadows and streams and their cheerful, twittering song are integral features of the countryside in summer. Man's buildings, especially farm buildings, have always provided Swallows with a great variety of suitable nest sites, whilst farm animals have supplied them with an abundant source of insect food. The Swallow is almost entirely beneficial to its human neighbours and is everywhere a welcome visitor. For centuries its annual arrival and departure have been a source of speculation and wonder, and even today there is still much to be learned about the details of its long migrations. There are some seventy-five species of Swallows in the world, occurring in every continent except Antarctica, with the greatest number of species being found in Africa. This book describes the Swallow's habitat and distribution, its courtship and breeding, and its relationship with man and his activities, including some of the folklore which has grown up around this special bird." --
