Swallows

Here are the swallows that come to drink
at my house early in the morning some days.

I think that they are wire-tailed swallows without
the wire.
Kenyabirds.org has a picture of one
without the long
tail wire.


They sit on the water tank at work.


Bioversity explorer says that they mate
for life and nest oftenest in August thru
December. Earlier blog posts show the
pair that nested in the stairwell of my
former apartment.


When it was colder, they used to sit on the east
side of my landlord's roof early in the morning...


and then hunt over the yard when it warmed up
and the insects started flying.
