swallows and martins (Hirundo rustica, Riparia riparia, Delichon urbicum)

Significant migration of swallows and martins today. Many barn swallows and several house and sand martins, as well as crag martins, regularly joined by good numbers of alpine swifts. Unfortunately the light was rather poor (we had a lot of snow over the weekend).
On the picture there's mainly barn swallows, a few sand martins and one house martin.
