Swallows just hanging on

 only found two pairs back on local territories so far; in 1982 I estimated an autumn roost in the local pits at 250,000 birds - in recent years we do not even get 500 in the roost in autumn - we know the roost causes but every day I see huge sprayers out killing off the remnant insect populations - we know the causes of wildlife declines but continue to blindly follow the profit is king rule -- how long before we no longer see a Swallow in spring like the Turtle Doves we have already lost in our lifetime?
