Barn Swallow; adult. Les Bruyres, Picardie. Early August 2013.

Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica subsp. erythrogaster) In American birds the adult female is whiter underneath than the more rusty colored male. This couple is enjoying a leisurely afternoon knowing they have raised their youngsters which can now feed themselves. Photographed just north of Hays...

This barn swallow, hirundo rustica, sits placidly on a fence post, uncaring that the photographer is pointing a large lens at him.

After feeding off the surface of a nearby lake, the swallows would perch up to dry off for a few minutes.

Barn Swallow

First time I saw them while walking along Don River - West trail in Southern Ontario. Initially I thought they were tree swallow as they are more common in this area. The previous photo posted is also of a flying barn swallow - what a coincidence.

Another summer and another Swallow on the signpost The fifth year runnining I've posted this kind of image Numbers of Swallows nesting in the sluice at Minsmere are down on previous years, this may be due to ongoing maintenance work

Barn Swallow Crouched to be a little lower than the bird in order to get this particular pose.
