Some lovely photos of difficult little birds to capture. A few from me....

Image Grey-rumped Swallow - Zambia

Image Wire-tailed Swallow - Chobe, Botswana

Image Lesser Striped Swallow- Caprivi, Namibia

Image Mosque Swallow - Caprivi, Namibia

It is only when one sees them up close that one realises how pretty they are. :)
