I was eating lunch at a local farm earlier today and noticed a pair of Swallows buzzing around our heads, after a number of fly pasts i saw the reason for their persistent aerial display directly above us.
Just thought i would share the moment as it is not something i come across every day... thankfully i packed the camera.

Was this an African or European swallow?

I will hazard a guess and say European but thats all it is is. My knowledge only extends to naming the general specie and even then i have to google to check i have the right bird.
Quick check of google confirms European :)Message edited by author 2011-08-22 19:43:36.

European swallows tweet with a distinct accent, often German. Most African swallows don't use Twitter at all.

Was it unladen? And what was its speed too?

This may be the funniest really bad joke I've heard in some time.
