I'm thinking swallow too, but expecting it to be something else, even if I can't see what else it could be!

 

[ody]

Yes, you are right with Barn Swallow!

The last time was not in the field. So I don't have any fresh pics. Tommorow I'll make the second part of EBCC!
In the noon I'll drive to Vegoritis. I hope I'll have good observations and also some "bad" pics for this thread!
For the moment if you want , you can guess the bird looking at these wings.

Now you say it, Moorhen sounds more appropriate.

Taking photos of flying birds is not so easy.
This one is overexposured!
