According to Roberts, the Pearl Breasted Swallow (P-B S) is sparse to locally common, a brief summer visitor to the W Cape, present Aug – Apr. Usually in pairs or small groups. This beautiful little P- B S is building a nest, right out side my office window. Its awesome. Soon their will be the flitter flatter of tiny little wings. In the mean time, its fantastic to watch how busy this little guy is..backwards and forwards with mud and grass, I am going to try and set up the perfect live action shots of the nest building. Since this is a PG site I wont attempt to broadcast the actual procreation, however I think my calling as a wild life photographer has finally arrived, I wont even need to leave the office. The best shots are straight from the tasting room. Im going to have get this onto the newly formed Franschhoek Bird Club list of outings.
