[Larry Lade]

Well, I am not too familiar with a "tin of baked beans" or a "packet of polos" .... these are sort of like me asking if it were bigger than a "cherry mash"? Probably not too many people on an international forum would know what I was taking about!

7. Is it arboreal? I am not sure? (* Dan, I am not quite certain what it means for a bird to be "arboreal", that is, "living in trees". Do you mean a bird of woodland habitat, as opposed to a bird of the desert, the sea, etc.? Can you give me your definition of arboreal?)
8. Is it here year-round? Yes
9. Is it a Sand Martin (Bank Swallow)? No

 

[dantheman]

Yep Larry, that's what I meant exactly eg:-

As opposed to ground dwelling or ariel I guess.

Since 8. counts all out all the hirundines and swifts I guess that means it must be ground dwelling . . . except for dippers and low vegetation dwellers I guess!!??
