His wife was seriously injured. She was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road. He brought her food and tended to her with love and compassion. He brought her food again but was shocked to find her dead.
He tried to move her....a rarely-seen effort for swallows. Aware that his mate is dead, he cries with adoring love.He stood beside her, saddened by her death.Finally, he stood beside her body with sadness and sorrow.
People cried after seeing these pictures when they were published in the leading newspaper in France.All copies of the paper were sold out on the day the pictures were released.
This is so sad. I wonder why the person, who took these pictures, didn't come to the aid of the swallow that was hit. Or, at least, move her for the little guy when she or he saw him to trying to move her himself.
