Hi Oldboy.


They're swifts in your shot.

Saw the first swallows arrive a couple of weeks before them - so summer was earlier - now gone when looking out of the window today ;-)

Thanks for the info, have corrected. Always find it difficult to tell these two apart, as you don't get much chance to view them up close.

Hi Oldboy.

[LOL had to re-edit as b r e a s t appears to be a rude word ;-)]

Completely understand - taken me many years of being a keen birdwatcher to identify many subtle birds.

Best\easiest distinction for a swallow; two VERY long and spindly streamers to their tail as well as white b r e a s t. House martin  = white b r e a s t but no streamers to the tail.

Zzzzzz ;-)

Thanks for the infomation. Should have checked with my bird books, as I had my doubts about the second picture.

on my laptop it looks as though all the colour from the sky has been converted to b/w and the grass is a muted green..
