Barn Swallow in flight -
Boerenzwaluw in vlucht
-
Hirundo rustica

Image ID:
867
Date: 
29/07/2012
Location: 
Vransko Lake,
Pakostane,
Croatia
Description: 

This picture was made in the evening at Vransko Lake, in Croatia. These swallows were flying above the lake. They were catching insects and were coming to drink, before flying to their roost in the reedbeds.
Vransko Lake is the biggest natural lake of Croatia. The Northwest side of the lake has huge reedbeds, which are home to healthy populations of most of the typical reedbirds. In august hundreds of thousands of Swallows and martins use the reedbeds as sleeping roosts, which causes an amazing spectacle in the late evening and early morning.
