Doesn't seem like clickbait to me, it's literally an article about a calendar about swallows with a few hundred words setting the scene and history of the area.
My joke has not been received well, alas

I’d suggest safer ground. Maybe the date of swallow arrival depends on how long it takes them to get there.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Re: Swallow Calendar
#13The article mentions the swallows arrived in early March, but sometimes as early as mid February, during the 18th century... that seems really early, which indicates the weather was actually warmer than today?
Not a meteorologist, but from my understanding that would be quite unlikely[1]. Furthermore, it seems odd that warmer temperatures in the area they are migrating to would trigger an early arrival (how would they know?). A more plausible hypothesis might be abnormally cool summer/early fall in the southern hemisphere, or other conditions local to the swallows southern nesting sites.
