YOUNG SWALLOW TAKES A BREATHER IN CLEETHORPES ON LONG MIGRATION TO AFRICA

An unsung wildlife feature of Cleethorpes and Humberston is the huge and continuing migration of swallows along the coast during the latter part of July through to mid-October. Many thousands pass overhead non-stop but some, such as this young bird, pause to admire the scenery. Within moments, it was back in the air on  its 9-000-mile flight to southern Africa where it will spend winter before returning to Britain in spring.
