While this is not a lot = for many areas it was more than I have seen here for quite a few years. = The majority were a mix of Juvenile and adult Barn Swallows, I counted = 19 on the wires at once with more over the field. The yellow gapes of = the young birds were visible but I saw no evidence of them being fed, = they seemed to be feeding on their own. Along with them were at least 6 = Tree Swallows and a single Chimney Swift. I managed a few documentation = shots of the Swift but it didn=E2=80=99t come close enough for anything = decent. This bird showed a very similar moult pattern in to the Swift = that flew over Eric Mills and I at Creaser=E2=80=99s Cove after = Arthur(also similarly poorly photographed). I suspect the moult should = have progressed further in a weeks time so It was probably not the same = bird but the similarity is interesting regardless.
