Take two, using Greek character encoding...

The Greek birdlist (e.g. http://www.birdlist.org/greece.htm) lists
Eurasian Crag-Martin (Hirundo rupestris), which sounds promising.
The Greek version (http://www.ornithologiki.gr/en/wob/enchecklist.htm)
gives the common name as "Βραχοχελίδονο".

Using Babelfish to mangle this into English, "Βραχο" translates as "rock",
and "χελίδονο" as "helj'dono".  That looks like a match to me.
