Swallow, swallow, dear swallow

My dear swallow,

Where are you going today?

I am going south!

A/N

This haiku was inspired by a swallow I saw this morning whilst having breakfast on the balcony. Observing nature in the early morning is both inspiring and relaxing. I couldn't take my own photo because I've promised myself to not take my phone with me whenever I have breakfast/tea/coffee on the balcony. It's my time for observation and reflection.

Swallow migration is triggered by biological clocks at the start of the autumn. Swallows fly in large flocks, with the young following the older and more experienced birds to learn about stop-over areas with food and shelter. They fly during the day and rest during the night. Swallows migrate from their breeding nests in the Northern Hemisphere to warmer wintering ground in the South Hemisphere.
