White-headed Saw-wing.\nThe white-headed saw-wing (Psalidoprocne albiceps), also known as the white-headed rough-winged swallow is a species of bird in the family Hirundinidae. It is found in Angola, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.\n\nThis species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure).[2] For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern by the IUCN.
Wire-tailed swallow ((Hirundo smithii) in Lake Magadi in the Great Rift Valley, Kenya. Lake Magadi is the southernmost lake in the Kenyan Rift Valley, north of Tanzania's Lake Natron. The Rift Valley contains a chain of volcanoes, some of which are still active, and many other lakes such as the Turkana, Baringo, Bogoria and Nakuru. During the dry season Lake Magadi is 60% covered by soda and is known for its wading birds. The lake is recharged by saline hot springs that discharge into alkaline lagoons around the lake margins and is very rich in blue-green algae, which feed insects, small crustaceans and massive flocks of lesser flamingos (Phoenicoparrus minor) and may other birds.
On an overcast day, a little brown unknown bird sits perched delicately upon a weathered branch of a tree, its small frame and muted plumage blending seamlessly with the subdued colors of the sky. The scene captures a moment of quiet solitude in the natural world, where the bird's presence adds a touch of life to the otherwise stark and weathered branch. Against the backdrop of soft, diffused light from the overcast sky, the bird's feathered form reflects the calm and tranquility of the day, embodying the resilience and adaptability of wildlife in its natural habitat. This serene tableau invites reflection on the beauty found in simplicity and the harmonious balance between life and the elements of nature.
