Nella stalla è arrivata una rondine, che vola indaffarata intorno al vecchio nido, e poi si posa su una tubatura in un angolo, sperando in un clima migliore. È arrivata martedì scorso, mi dice Federico, con uno stormo di dieci altre che hanno proseguito nella migrazione.
Alle 19 ho lasciato Pradelle, non prima di aver fotografato il mirabolano del Percorso Botanico in piena fioritura. Era scuro e pioveva.

Mirabolano Prunus cerasifera Cherry Plum
I arrived to the Visitors Centre in Pradelle at 2:40 PM. After a sunny morning, around noon the sky clouded quickly, and a subtle and insistent drizzle began to fall.
The afternoon was dedicated to the arrangement of material in the barn, an afternoon of mud and dust, but beyond the stone wall I heard singing a wryneck, a common redstart, a blackcap and a nuthatch. There was also a warbler who moved silently among the branches of the elder, near to the pond.
In the stable has arrived a swallow, which flies busily around the old nest, and perches on a pipe in a corner, hoping for a better weather. It arrived last Tuesday, Federico told me, with a flock of ten others that have continued their migration.
At 19 I left Pradelle, not before I had photographed the cherry plum of the botanical trail in full bloom. It was dark and it rained.
