Golondrina común, Ave del Año 2014

The barn swallow is a symbol of our countryside. But we're losing them. Chemicals and the deterioration of the rural landscape have caused their population to decline by 30% in the last decade. What happens to them also affects us, because a countryside without swallows is a less healthy place for people. At SEO/BirdLife, we want a world with birds, we want a world with swallows.
