I have yet to see Angola Swallow. Red-rumped Swallow I have seen in India but did not get a photo.

I live in Stratford upon Avon and am fascinated by apus apus which arrive mid April for four to five months, nesting under the eaves in a house opposite me on the canal.
I am on holiday at a Dam in KZN and I found a little swift on the sid of a road I was walking on. It seems to have hurt it’s wing because when held up high I can’t fly. It is drinking water but can anyone suggest food as I am in a remote area
They are exclusively insect eaters, in a pinch you can try small bits of mince, but this is not sustainable in the longer term as it wont have all the nutrients needed. Best is to get it to a vet or wildlife rehab in the area
