The image shows a small bird perched on a branch. The bird has a dark blue or black head and back, with a rusty orange throat and chest. Its underbelly is light grey. The bird's wings are dark, matching the colour of its head and back. The branch it is perched on is covered with patches of lichen. The background is a soft, out-of-focus greyish-green, giving the image a serene and natural feel.

Warou

This is my third post of a Warou (Welcome Swallow, Hirundo neoxena). The first was barely good enough for the site, while the second was somewhat better and more exciting, being caught in flight.

This photo came rather easily once I followed up on a tip from another photographer (Hi, Steve!)

Additional Photos

  • A small bird sits on a large, round wooden post. The bird has grey underparts, with a dark blue back and red-orange on face and neck. The edge of a jetty is visible with choppy water behind.
  • The image shows a bird in mid-flight against a blurred background of a body of water. The bird is a swallow, identifiable by its streamlined body, long pointed wings, and forked tail. It has a dark blue or black back, a reddish-brown face and throat, and a white underbelly. The background is mostly blue with some greenish-brown areas.
