Late this afternoon I found a Barn Swallow feeding in a ditch alongside the road to Stanley airport. Every so often it would perch on the bank of the ditch within a few feet of me but unfortunately the light was not in the best position for photography.
Barn Swallow is a regular visitor in small numbers to the Falkland Islands in Spring.

I chanced upon this photo whne perusing your blog.
Is it really a Barn Swallow. May be light etc, but looks very like a White rumped swallow (can you make out a white rump showing just in the bottom pic?)
