        Excellent but not sure how you would tell them apart

                Thanks guys

                Stan and Trev, Normally I could not tell the difference (if there is one) between male and female.
                I had been watching this nest entrance( 3meters away from me) for a while and just prior to this shot both these particular sand martins were feeding the chicks at this nest entrance.
                I presumed rightly or wrongly that only the parents would feed their own chicks.
