White-throated Swallow
Witkeelswael · Hirundo albigularis
A neat blue-and-white swallow with a white throat cut by a dark chest-band, closely tied to water. It builds a mud-cup nest on bridges, culverts and cliff ledges over rivers and pans. An intra-African breeding migrant, it arrives for the warm months and leaves for winter.
