Hello, these are swifts in a street in a village in the south of Spain. Would you say they are all common swifts? I have doubts in some pics, maybe the different exposure time turns the light confusing. What do you think?

Thanks for you help,
C. Andrés.

Agreed, however....if the light is right CS can look quite pale, all shot in Essex.

Cheers
