Why it matters
The White-backed swallow, *Cheramoeca leucosterna*, is unique among Australian swallows for its striking, high-contrast plumage and its habit of nesting in burrows rather than mud nests. Its pointed wings and distinctively forked tail allow for exceptional agility in flight, a characteristic that makes this species a captivating subject for observers of avian movement.
