Why it matters
The Pearl-breasted Swallow (Hirundo dimidiata) is a bird of Southern Africa, notable for the subtle, slate-grey plumage that gives the species its name. Like many members of the Hirundinidae family, its pointed wings and deeply forked tail are evolutionary adaptations for high-speed, agile flight while hunting insects on the wing.
