Sand Martins

I have just been out getting great photos of sand martins (Riparia riparia) feeding their big chicks in the nest openings, in two gravel pits that I just found out about on the island I'm from.

The one place I knew about from before, sadly got destroyed due to construction work before the breeding season.

But now I finally got to see and photograph their chicks for the first time, by using the car as a hide.

As usual, I have portrait assignments to finish before I can edit new bird photos, but I hadn't uploaded my first sand martin photos from some years ago either, so here is one of them instead.

This is from the only time I've seen one on the island where I live, that hunted together with the usual barn swallows on our island.

(Sandsvale in Norwegian)
