Do any of you have Greek language connections?
In a song translation I've come across Petrohilidoni
which is literally stone-swallow.
So far, I've been unable to find the name in any
official Greek list of bird names.
I suspect it may refer to the House Martin but I'm
not sure...  any ideas?

thanks for any help
