@mybirdcards@mastodon.world@pixelfed.au It looks like a Welcome Swallow but might be a different Hirundo species.

@pharsicle 👍 They are pretty similar, and the angle of ours doesn't help, but we think the Welcome Swallow has the more extensive russet patch covering the forehead (Photo c/o Wikipedia). Unfortunately the photographer doesn't mention the location, but they are based in the UK, so we think we are safe with our initial ID 😅 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welcome_swallow?wprov=sfla1
