A swallow (Hirundinidae) is seen flying to hunt in wetlands on April 04, 2025 in Bursa, Turkiye. Swallows, which can live anywhere in the world except the poles and weigh an average of 15 grams, migrate northward from the Arabian Peninsula to their breeding grounds every year in spring. Feeding on small insects such as flies and mosquitoes, the swallows prefer wetlands and marshes to take a break during migration. Flocks of swallows, which fly almost non-stop all day long and feed on both flying flies and their newly emerged larvae above the water, can hunt hundreds of thousands of insects every day.
