London Red-Rumped Swallow

After yesterday's lingering Red-rumped Swallow at Beddington (there second this spring) it was too good an opportunity not to miss to have any chance of seeing this long awaited london tick, with yesterdays foul weather i was hoping it would stick.

Arriving before 7 luckily Dodge was on site and let thru the gate where he had picked up the bird moments before, and it wasn't long before we were enjoying the bird again at close range tho always in the sun!!

The bird showed several times over the next 20 minutes or so before it seemed to head of west over the tree's.

Thanks again to the Beddington boys and another great find too.
