Messenger of the Sands – Pale crag martin (Ptyonoprogne obsoleta) – Algeria
Silent and weightless, the Pale crag martin (Ptyonoprogne obsoleta) sweeps through the heated air like a brown arrow. It traces arabesques above the dunes, a faithful companion to wind and light. Its fleeting silhouette seems to float between earth and sky, a reminder that even in the heart of a barren expanse, life finds its place and dances with grace.
