Wire-tail swallow
Hirundo smithii
28.6865, 77.4621
Field Notes
Description:
Most distinctive feature are the wire-like extensions...the young do not have it. The adult keeps flying as it feeds the chicks; insects I thought.
Notes:
It NEVER almost NEVER sits! I was able to photograph its nest too...stuck on a wall quite high up in an abandoned shed. seemed to have been made of mud mixed with a liquid to make it pliable (I understand it uses saliva)
