On a recent visit to one of the game reserves close to Port Elizabeth, we found this lone European Swallow sitting on a fence. Most of the swallows have left up north already and the first thing that came to mind was “straggler”. I can imagine him sitting there watching the sky and wondering if its really time to head north before winter arrives down here.For more great pictures where you can watch the sky like this little fellow, go to Skywatch.

I’m so envious. Swallows are such skittish birds to have one sit still for even one second is just perfect timing. Well done.
