In South Africa, as in many other temperate parts of the world, the arrival of the spring season sees an influx of birds that had spent the winter in warmer climes. Swallows are great examples, though some individuals of the Lesser Striped Swallow depicted here (in the Pilanesberg National Park) do actually stay in South Africa year round.
We’re participating in the online adventure travel and photography magazine LetsBeWild.com‘s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggers. This week’s challenge was “Spring“, and we are very pleased to have been awarded an honourable mention!

What a lovely bird. I think I have never seen this kind of bird even in photos before.
They definitely are beautiful birds, and very vocal. Thank you for spending some time on one of our older posts and gifting us such a lovely comment!
Would you bother to move if you lived there? 😉
Good point AJ!
