Black-and-rufous Swallow
The Black-and-rufous Swallow is a distinctive swallow of the miombo woodland and open areas in East and Central Africa. It has glossy black upperparts and rich rufous-chestnut underparts and throat. It feeds on aerial insects, hawking over open woodland and water, and breeds in small colonies.
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.
