Hi.

Just for fun. Got a photo of a White-tailed Eagle and looking at the photo at home i can see another bird in the same photo.

Is it a House Martin maybe ?

But the size against the Eagle doesn't match ?

Thanks.

//Ben

Looks martin on the tail shape. If it was a lot closer to you than the eagle was then the apparant size compared to the eagle isn't an issue. Close, far away......

The general shape is right for a hirundine, and with that pale rump, it's probably a House Martin. But does there seem to be a rather deep tail fork and long, slightly curved outer tail feathers?

Without clicking on the link I will hazard a guess this is Ted and Dougal?
