Birds of Pakistan

The family Hirundinidae is adapted to aerial feeding. They have a slender streamlined body, long pointed wings and a short bill with a wide gape. The feet are adapted to perching rather than walking, and the front toes are partially joined at the base.

Some friends planned a day trip to Ayubia. It was a fun trip and I had no plan to do birding in this trip. But fortunately my birding lense was with me. As we stayed there for lunch I had some time to look around. I was very glad to find some birds and I hope to see them soon in Islamabad too.
