Ah! My mistake...I was so excited to see the "wires."

Hi Sukanya, you do indeed see wires, which Barn swallows also have. Wire-tailed swallows have red caps and white throat though and as far as I know they have never been recorded in Portugal. They are only found south of the Sahara in Africa and in Asia. http://beautyofbirds.com/wiretailedswall...
