They're back. A couple of blue tree swallows that nested last year in the birdhouse I hung at the back of our workshop in the garden. I had just finished planting some squashes, and I was standing at the top of the dyke, looking at how fluffy the garden had become in a few days, breathing in the earthy smell brought about by the rain, then I saw them. One of them was perched on top of my arbor, the other one on the parasol. I didn't move, so as not to frighten them. After a while they went back in their rental birdhouse. I wonder if they are the same individuals as last year, or if it is the color I painted the birdhouse that attracts this paticular species. I let you judge...
