Hello.

These birds are so hard to photograph as I am sure everyone is aware but I managed to get these shots. I think the first two images are house martins and the second two are sand martins but this is the first time I have managed to get images that aren't so blurred that I haven't a chance at id.

Can someone confirm if I am correct please?

Thanks

You are correct with both identifications. House Martin for the first two and Sand Martin for the last two.
