Thank you, Mark. Now I know why I was confused.

HI Margaret,

All your photos are of Welcome Swallows, the first two possibly of juvenile birds which don’t have tail streamers until they are adult. Adults lose their streamers when they undergo a post nuptial moult but grow them back reasonably quickly. Swallows and martins often feed in mixed flocks.

Cheers and Merry Christmas,

Mark

At JWNR today. At first I thought I was shooting martins of some kind, but when I looked at my shots, some were clearly swallows. But some were not clearly swallows. Do swallows and martins feed in mixed flocks? Or do some swallows not have tail streamers?
