    Default Tame Swallows

    Never seen swallows this close before. I think they were posing for me.

    I am told that swallows have brown necks. I am no good at identifying birds, I can tell the difference between a seagull and an ostrich.

    Swallow

    Swallows are small birds with dark, glossy-blue backs, red throats, pale underparts and long tail streamers. They are extremely agile in flight and spend most of their time on the wing. They are wides... More...

    im still unclear best to get a shot of the tail that will nail it.

    They are definitely what is normally called Swallows. The full name is Barn Swallow so you are right, Marie. They are the same.

    We have Barn Swallows, Tree Swallows, Cliff Swallows and other kinds of swallows here. They are related to Purple Martins, which aren't as common. We saw Purple Martins at the Ellis Bird Farm, which is near to Lacombe, Alberta. I can't say that I know much about birds, but do like to go on back roads trips with dear husband looking for kinds that I I haven't seen yet.

    I think Barn Swallow is right. They were nesting above a shop in Taebaek, east coast South Korea, where I was touring the streets looking for something that looked vaguely edible.

    (I ended up in a restaurant where they said they could do fried beef. When it came the variety of beef was one without horns, a curly tail, and says "oink". Fly back to London on Monday, and looking forward to eating again)

    Bill, I think that I'll stay home and eat my own cooking. If you want some good beef, come to Alberta. We have lots of cattle, or you can have bison if you prefer. Some people eat elk and moose.
