Hirundo smithii Wire-tailed Swallow Draadstertswael

Kaingo Private Game Reserve, Mar 2023

Mokolo Dam, Sep 2020

Probably resident in the far north of the Waterberg along the Palala and Mogol rivers but the few records available suggest that it is rare and localised (recorded in 2% of the Waterberg pentads); in pairs; this bird was one of a pair building a nest under a ledge overhanging the dam.
