Ooh no problem at all. Thanks Zlatan, must have clicked it accidentally.
Hi Chris, lovely bird and a great shot. However, I took a bit of liberty, and removed the spotting form "Birds of Europe" mission - even though its breeding range includes Europe, this swallow was observed well outside the continent... Hope you don't mind my intervention.
