The barn or European swallow is a commonly seen palearctic migrant. The rust-coloured forecrown and throat are diagnostic. The left 4th row and both 5th row photos are of melanistic barn swallows (Lake Chala, 4-11), courtesy of Lyn Waltenberg. The immature (right 4th row) was seen in Tarangire (1-04). The others were seen in Shambarai swamp, Silale swamp and Arusha NP. Click the photo above to see 17 enlargements. |
