House Martin v Swallows

[Xris]

I was watching a Swallow breeding site the other weekend and after taking several shots of a juvenille bird, the bird in question was harassed by a House Martin. This shot came from the ensueing fight.

Very good Chris
Both very fast birds so to even get them in frame is an achievement

Nice ... us none birding types often mix these two types up. Are they really that similar (blushing) ... in performance they appear to be.

MX5 yes they can look quiet similar, especially in flight.

Thank you for your comments guys
