Slightly odd Barn Swallow - Juabil
Whilst birding the
Jubail area recently I came across a slightly odd looking Barn Swallow. It had
a large amount of white in the wing, which when originally seen from distance
perched on a reed made it look very interesting. Instead, it turned out to be a
Swallow made to look even more strange by its very long and thin tail
streamers. The plumage appears to rule out all other swallows apart from Barn
Swallow.
