A beautifully written feature by Helen McDonald declares and asks, “Swifts spend all their time in the sky. What can their journeys tell us about the future?” A few beautiful lines:
Swifts have, of late, become my fable of community, teaching us about how to make right decisions in the face of oncoming bad weather.
I have always thought ‘vesper flights’ the most beautiful phrase, an ever-falling blue.
