Nests of swifts and swallows on an old water tower.

#036 - Around The World

South Africa - 2017

 

Somewhere along National Route 14, between Pretoria and Upington in South Africa, an old water tower has found new life as a thriving colony for swallows and swifts. These agile birds have transformed the structure into a bustling hub of activity with their nests clinging to its weathered walls. The tower, now adorned with the intricate mud and grass nests, stands as a testament to nature's ability to reclaim and repurpose human-made structures.

 

The swallows and swifts dart in and out of the tower, their swift movements is a stark contrast against the backdrop of the vast South African landscape. This remarkable adaptation showcases the resilience and ingenuity of these birds, turning an old, forgotten relic into a sanctuary of life and community.
