kinsella.brendan: Fork-tailed Swift (Apus pacificus). There were large numbers of these birds in the sky above Cervantes this morning. They were very difficult to photograph. I don’t have a photo of one so even though this isn’t the clearest image I am still pretty happy.

kinsella.brendan: Welcom Swallow (Hirundo neoxena) Bibra Lake south of Perth Western Australia.

kinsella.brendan: White-backed Swallow (Cheramoeca leucosterna). A pair were collecting nesting material from a graded roadside verge, providing an opportunity to take some photos where they are not normally seen.
