A bit belated, but while doing some other reading on websites, I came across the fact that apparently Pacific Swallows are found in Japan, in addition to the Barn Swallows I'd assumed all the birds I'd seen there last July had been. I did have one (poor) photo which I'd thought odd for a lack of a dark breast-band below the red, but dismissed it as either the local race of the barn swallow or perhaps a juvenile. But having seen this I thought I better get this checked out, as I can't really find much information on Pacific Swallows in Japan, as I presume most of it would be in Japanese. I may well just have barn swallows in the photo, but may as well ask!
Thanks for any help!
