Swallow - Teal Platters

Swallow - Teal PlattersOften seen perching in flocks, the Swallow Warou is a small and elegant bird with a quiet call and a rapid, graceful flight pattern. Appearing in large numbers with the early days of warm weather, they are often considered to be the harbingers of spring. Although they are migratory in other areas of the South Pacific, the Aotearoa population appears happy to call our wetlands and coastal environments home all year around.
