[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Lesser Striped Swallow (Hirundo abyssinica syn. Cecropis abyssinica) is a large swallow. It breeds in sub-Saharan Africa from Sierra Leone and southern Sudan south into eastern South Africa. It is partially migratory with South African birds wintering further north. West African birds leave the north of the breeding range in the dry season.

Very good photo of a difficult subject to photograph. They are seldom seen perching on a natural object (usually seen on telephone wires) and they seldom stay perched long enough to take a good photo.Nice composition as well.
