Barn Swallow; Golondrina Común

Hirundo rustica

Description:

Don't be fooled by the pictures, the Barn Swallow is on the right, sitting next to a Red-rumped Swallow to provide a comparison of the two species which breed and live side by side here, see http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/181... The Barn Swallows will soon migrate to Africa for the winter while many of the Red-rumped Swallows will remain in the Iberian peninsula, only moving south to the coast if the insect supply dries up in the winter.

Habitat:

Garden on limestone outcrop in foothills of Los Serranos mountains.
