When we first arrived at the grande passerelle, a small tree was festooned withs wallows which we would have guessed would be Trees but turned out to been entirely Cliff Swallows. We spotted the occasional Roughwing but later on four of them claimed the perch. Yesterday's Towhee failed to show itself
