[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Pacific Swallows eat insects, catching them during flight. However, they don't hunt on the wing. They perch and wait, then actually chase after individual prey and perform aerial acrobatics to catch them.

These swallows are found everywhere in Singapore, but usually near water and open country. I photographed this pair at a reservoit.
