About These Birds
Black-collared Swallow
The Black-collared Swallow is a distinctive South American swallow with glossy blue-black upperparts, white underparts, and a broad black collar across the upper breast. It inhabits rocky rivers and fast-flowing streams in lowland tropical forests and adjacent areas from Colombia and Venezuela south through Amazonian Brazil, often nesting in crevices of riverside rocks. It feeds on flying insects caught over water.
African Plain Martin
The African Plain Martin is a small, brown swallow of the Hirundinidae family, with a wingspan near 20 cm and a weight of just 12 g. It nests in burrows along river banks and lake shores across much of Africa, feeding on insects caught in low, gliding flight over water.
