Red-rumped Swallow, Cwm Ivy.

Yesterday I managed to get out of work early enough to spend the afternoon watching the Red-rumped Swallow at Cwm Ivy, Gower. Found on Saturday by a group from Gower Ornithological Society, this little beauty could be seen actively feeding near Cwm Ivy Tor in the company of a Barn Swallow - which in itself is a great record for February.
