Description

Forgive me but I am guessing at a young swift These birds were so fast and obviously feeding on the wing flying very low just above the water and cicling around my head etc. I assumed they were swifts but they could be swallows or even housemartins I am not sure! please put me right if anyone can give a clearer ID. I only saw two of them land all afternoon and I was lucky to catch this guy. I have cropped quite considerably, it was quite a few yards away from me. Thanks for all latest comments
