Red-rumped Swallow (Hirundo daurica)

18th November 2011



Another lifer and vagrant found at Penampang paddy field while searching for the Northern Shoveler with Jordan recently. There were 2 birds flying around mixing with Pacific and Barn Swallow, Glossy with Nest-Swiftlet sp. The obvious rump colour caught my attention while looking at the Nest-Swiftlet sp. in flight which looked like the Himalayan Swift.

Happy birding !
