Next weekend I’ll try to leave earlier to get better lighting. Not my best attempt at photography I’m afraid

Yes, we have those as well. Barn Swallows are very common. Pearl-breasted Swallow and Sand Martin, Common House Martin, Brown-throated Martin, Banded Martin and Rock Martin are common in Southern Africa.
I didn’t see any of those this morning though.

Beautiful bird and stunning call sound.
Thanks for sharing with me. I see it’s endemic to your part of the world. Lovely plumage as well
