White Breasted Wood Swallow Julia Creek Qld |
The winds have come wailing across the black soil plains,
hurling dust and leaves over the town.
The white breasted wood swallows cling to the power lines, turning
enquiring faces to me when I try to photograph them. A few weeks ago as I meandered around the
local cemetery they tried to distract me by flying away from their nests. When this didn’t work they swooped me,
stridently advising my instant departure.
Now in spite of high winds they perch tidily around town, the neatest of birds in spite of aerial chaos surrounding them.
