Anyone ever see a white swallow before


Recommended Posts


I saw either a white swallow or a  white sand martin , (I'm not sure which) as I was crossing the river Eden on the M6 motorway. At first I thought it was an escaped white budgie but it was flying with swallows and sand martins so it was unlikely to be a budgie.

Very rare it seems

Wow. I didn't realise they were that rare. I feel quite privileged to have seen it. I only caught sight of the bird for a fleeting moment, but it wasn't being harassed by the others.

It’s not as easy as everyone thinks when your put on the spot mate and definitely not an easy subject to film ??

I had my car broken into in the not so distant past and a camcorder taken,which was bought for me by the family,I have nothing but my camera phone left ,the other sad part was I had accumulated a lot of vids of sonic and one or two others coursing,goat hunting and such,devasted wasn't strong enough at the time to describe my condition
