During my annual Deluxe Atlantic Puffins and so much more workshops, we are often visited by flocks of up to four species of swallows. We stay in a newly renovated lighthouse on a small island in the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve where there are no trees, so I found a piece of driftwood and wedged it between some rocks on the beach to make a perch. It didn’t take long for this Bank Swallow to make an appearance - smile.
