The only unstreaked pipit around here and a characteristic breeder of sand dunes is the Tawny Pipit and this one shows well, holding to the grass edge.

In all that swirling of swallows, I am not certain was there a third species, so I keep watching.

Finally, yes, at least two Crag Martins are among the more numerous swallows. Other taxa.

Africa has more than its fair share of storks, with 8 of the world’s 19 species gracing the continent. Storks are typically viewed as wetland species and whilst some storks are restricted to aquatic habitats, others are not.
