In the last 5 days there have been up to 5 RED-RUMPED SWALLOW on St Mary's including this stunning shot of one taken on Porth Hellick this evening out of the 4 birds that were present
I kept getting texts throughout the morning telling me where the 2 RED-RUMPED SWALLOW were bombing around on St Mary's. After picking up Paul Semmons in town we caught up with the 2 birds at Porth Hellick crossroads. There were also an increase with House Martin with at least 35-40 birds in the area with 2 Sand Martin. By evening, hirundines were coming into roost at Porth Hellick and Graham counted 250+Swallow, 60+House Martin, 15 Sand Martin and a record of 4 RED-RUMPED SWALLOW!
All 4 RR Swallow had full tail streamers, ruling out the individual with a broken tail streamer from last Monday, totalling 5 RED-RUMPED SWALLOW altogether. Bottom Robin Mawer
I had the female Marsh Harrier in the blue skies above Rose Hill, while the immature male was on Samson
