Yes Geoffrey I noticed it but did not feel it was important enough to comment. I don't suppose biscuit tins are the old HANZAB. I wondered whether it could represent a foreign species, although more likely is just a bit of confusion by the artist. Then again each, especially the front one, of these swallows has swift's wings, not like those of swallows at all. The red on the face is much too bright and the spots on the tail are missing also.
