The Blue Swallow Reviews
More info about The Blue Swallow
More critically endangered than the rhino, the beautiful and graceful fluorescent-coloured blue swallow is currently numbered at roughly 1000 birds worldwide. Their numbers are dwindling rapidly and scientists are at a loss to explain why. Some blame the removal of their habitation and artificial forests as a possible reason but in areas where they once thrived, development has not occurred. In South Africa, less than 40 pairs arrive annually to breed along the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands mist belt. This is the only remaining destination in the country for birders to get a glimpse of the swallow.
The blue swallow breeds in underground aardvark holes and natural sinkholes and scientists have resorted to creating artificial breeding holes where the aardvark population has been affected. Tracking the bird’s migration path is difficult as the bird is too light to carry a standard satellite transmitter and until such time as a lightweight device becomes available, tracking cannot occur.
