Venus Pool - House Martin & Sand Martin

Sand Martins have been showing well for the past week but my fickle interest soon wanes as the quest for a first House Martin becomes the main target...

First up then Sand Martins. All brown upperparts!

House Martins are darker on the upperparts (blue-black) with an obvious white rump as seen clearly in thee following two images.

Shame about the light but the pics are worthwhile as these birds often show at their best during cloudy weather and rain!
