The Streak-throated Swallow is a small, pale swallow recognized by its lightly streaked throat and a distinctive pale rump. It's highly gregarious, often forming large flocks.
Where to spot
Found across the Indian subcontinent, from Pakistan to Myanmar. Inhabits open country, plains, and agricultural areas, always near rivers, lakes, or large irrigation channels that provide mud for nesting.
How to spot
Look for its pale underparts and faint streaking on the throat. Identify it by its habit of flying low over water or fields in large, swirling flocks. Observing nesting colonies near rivers or bridges is a key method.
When to spot
Resident in most of its range, observable year-round. Breeding activity is prominent during the dry season, leading to large congregations around nesting sites. Active throughout the day.

This species is notable for its habit of nesting in very dense colonies, sometimes numbering thousands of pairs, building retort-shaped mud nests on cliffs or large structures near water.
