This bird has me totally confused. They (so i am told) are common in the area. I shot them one early morning (after a heavy thunderstorm the pervious evening). These birds were circling around the garden (this is a big area as the house is on a farm) at very high speed. I thought , ahha what a great opertunity to take a photo, but these guys were just too fast. They apeared to be catching insects of some kind. The farm is outside potchefstroom (150km west of Johannesburg).
The closed ID I have is the Angola Swallow, but there spread are not shown here.
I saw the same speci of birds a month later again, but over some fields in the area.
The white dots on the tail were quite distintive. Picture were shot on 25 Dec 2003.
Please help?
