I wanted to get a shot of this little swallow on our last trip to Zambia, and didn't think I had. Going through some discarded files I have come across this, and realised I had got one after all! I know its not a great image but I'm just so happy to have captured a glimpse of this little beauty. When you think that a Barn Swallow weighs around 18 grams, and these tiny Wire Tailed Swallows only weigh 12 grams at best, you get an idea of just how small they are - even the twig it was sitting on looks like a tree.
