Part natural history book, part travel book this is informative, fascinating , funny and atmospheric. Horatio Clare takes the reader on his journey following migrating swallows, who travel from Wales to South Africa twice a year, although his journey is probably slightly more complicated and involves a few more mishaps than the birds he is trailing. A lovely book that will entertain and inform.
From the slums of Cape Town to the palaces of Algiers, through Pygmy villages where pineapples grow wild, to the Gulf of Guinea where the sea blazes with oil flares, across two continents and fourteen countries - this epic journey is nothing to swallows, they do it twice a year. But for Horatio Clare, writer and birdwatcher, it is the expedition of a lifetime.
