Swallows - May 2014

Swallows - May 2014

Tried to get some photos of the 3 different breeds of Swallows that we see regularly on our local outings.
Managed to photos of Banks Swallows for the first time and photos of Tree Swallows. The Northern Rough Wing Swallows did not put in an appearance and are much more difficult to see as their nesting location is not visible from our side of the river.
This was the first time I've seen Bank Swallows roosting on the fence. Trying to get photos of them in flight is more difficult as they are usually further out in the field.
