SWALLOW FUND

REWILDING BRITAIN LOGO FOR SWALLOW FUND

SWALLOW FUND is one way I can support the work of others as they seek to heal this remarkable planet home of ours.
I donate 20% of SWALLOW FUND sales to the charity REWILDING BRITAIN.

These are small and unframed and from my archive of memorable experiences/

Every year I celebrate with a bottle of champagne the sight of the first swallow.  Being a swallow in this world (and being one of those creatures they feed on and that feed on them) is fraught with human-induced peril. Every swallow that makes it back to share our summer- against very many odds- is a miracle. For me they are a symbol for the plight of our other-than-human neighbours. The lucky ones who do make it back indicate that some connective tissue required to transport the birds along their migration routes remains alive
