Insects Swarm and a Family Nests
Clip: Episode 3 | 3mVideo has Closed Captions
Brought by the explosion of insects, a pair of swallows build a mud nest inside the hide.
A variety of insect species – from hoverflies to leaf roller moths – explode in population at the waterhole. Lured by the steady food source, a pair of swallows moves into the adjacent hide to build a new nest from the surrounding mud. These migrating birds have traveled from the south of the African continent to breed in Tanzania. And our hidden cameras are there to capture this new family.
