~ Swallows are a no-questions-asked reason for a photo stop. Both Anthony and I enjoy making images of their diminutive features, and dark blue plumage. These Hirundo rustica, Barn Swallow, remained on their perches after we parked near them, ostensibly because they were cold in the chilly, drizzly morning atmosphere. Their cheeps were audible, with one shown with its bill open. A lovely way to begin the morning game drive.
