- The swallows come every year to our house. They build their nests in the eaves of the barns. I think the same number come every year. Every year a cuckoo comes and sits on the electric wires in front of the house. He always sits there and sings early in the morning and late in the evening.
I know a thrush that sits on a boxwood bush at the back of the house. He has two white spots on him. - Collector
