Description
I found a group of these little birds during our stay at the "Costa del Sol" beach. They looked very nice and some of them posed for me without any shyness.. Many thanks for your comments to my previous work.. PS. I had not noticed the white line from the eyes to the beak until I saw it enlarged to a large size. That white line places it inside another species. I had classified it as tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), but apparently it is a Mangrove swallow (Tachycineta albilinea)

Thanks mate. I've never seen one before.

What a sweet bird, and in a way it has a tender look by watching you, my friend. I love the turquoise around its eye and chest. Also I have never seen it.

If I know animals this one is probably thinking, "I wonder if he has anything to eat?" A wonderful image. Very nice of him to pose for you.

A beautiful bird and perfect pose. I like that you got some of the iridescence on the head. We had some barn swallows living in our parking garage for a couple of years, so nice to have around, then one day they were all gone and it's been years since we've seen any. Your photo brings back wonderful memories.
