Swallow and distant Shearwater, 17.10.2023 in Sagres, Portugal (1 Viewer)

Hi,

today I went birding for the first time in Sagres, Portugal. I photographed a swallow flying over me which seems quite brownish and I don't really know how to sort it in, Crag Martin maybe? And on some photos I made from Northern Gannets I also noticed a distant shearwater, any chance to id it from these really bad photos?

Thanks,
Gabriel

Yes, crag martin - and what looks like Macaronesian shearwater ( = baroli little shearwater) (stumpy-looking, whitish face).
