It is known as Bank Swallow in North America, and as Collared Sand Martin in South Asia, and sometimes as European Sand Martin. In French: Hirondelle de rivage. Picture taken along the "Côte Sauvage" near Quiberon (France) in June 2011. Thank you very much for your comments on my previous upload:

Absolutely wonderful! Great composition and colors, and it represents a rare opportunity to capture something of birds who would probably rather be invisible.
