Martin Identification

Hi MAx and all,
We only get Welcome Swallows and Tree MArtins in Tassie, and another easy way to distinguish them in flight (when they sometimes have their tails "closed") is the Martins have a white rump, which the Swallows have a dark rump. I can't recall off-hand (and in the absence of my field guide) what colour the rump on a Fairy Martin is.

Cheers,
John Tongue
Ulverstone, Tas.
